Meet Emily 

* How many folks are involved in the whole design process?

Just me!

* Where are your headquarters? 

I work out of my home in Somerville, MA

* What’s your favorite card that you’ve designed (on Postable)?

I think it would be my New Baby Kitten card.  It makes me laugh every time I see it.

From childhood, my surroundings, nature, things that make me feel cozy.

Nostalgic.

* If you could spend a day with any person (dead or alive) who would it be?

That is a really really hard question but I think I would choose Alice and Martin Provensen.  They created one of my favorite children’s books, Our Animal Friends at Maple Hill Farm.

* If you had to paint your house inside and out with the same color, what would it be? Why?

YELLOW.  It does something magical to my brain.

* What would you choose as your last meal?

A giant bowl of raspberries with whipped cream.

March Featured Artist: 1Canoe2

Postable’s March featured artist is the lovely 1canoe2.

1canoe2 letterpress is the stuff dreams are made of – Carrie and Beth are childhood friends who always loved to draw. Now the two are all grown-up and work together as professional illustrators, designers and printers. The name 1canoe2 comes from years of the two dreaming up big ideas around a campfire and floating down a spring-fed Missouri river in a canoe. Two girls, one canoe. One canoe, two.

In a barn. In a cornfield. In the middle of Missouri. We love it here.

* What’s your favorite card that you’ve designed (on Postable)?

My personal favorite is the Birthday Stripes card.

The world around us, our rural setting, pretty colors.

Happy

*If you could spend a day with any person (dead or alive) who would it be?

*If you had to paint your house inside and out with the same color, what would it be? Why?

Citron green. It’s just my happy color.

*What would you choose as your last meal?

Mashed potatoes, cheese curls, shrimp cocktail and sparkling grape juice. Do I know how to party or what?
