Etsy Finds: Letterpress Paper House Kit

The Chan­dler Lane Small Town You-Build-It-Kit ($24) is the first in a series of dio­rama sets from Etsy seller 1canoe2. The kit is designed and sketched by hand, the sketches are turned into let­ter­press plates, and finally every­thing is printed on a Chan­dler & Price Crafts­man press. The kit includes 9x12 sheet for back­ground and 12x7 sheet for 3 houses, 7 trees and 2 cor­ner tabs.

Every­thing in 1canoe2’s fan­tas­tic shop is printed on a let­ter­press in a old red barn in Mis­souri. How cool is that?

    Well, it’s not par­tic­u­larly old–about 10 years or so–but it is big, red, and all about the fam­ily that uses it. They have a corn maze there every sum­mer with hayrides and camp­fires, and a 3 story gum­ball machine. We’re so lucky to work in such a cool space–although we keep get­ting our exten­sion cords stolen by the farm hands!!

    Speak­ing of barns, we need to get to work on our next diorama!

    Thanks so very much for the feature!!
