always be Grateful
   Marie-Céleste has been doing a lot of introspection of late and the one thing that keeps coming up is to be grateful first, before anything else. So, to express her gratitude - in techno color, she designed and letterpress printed this personal reminder to be grateful.

   A limited edition of 225, signed and numbered prints were created. The print was done in seven (!) colors!!! Wooden type was used and the background was printed with two colors from a single lino block. The print was done on a laid finish cream colored stock.

   Each print measures 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" (including number and signature) which is a standard inside measurements for ready-made mats if you would like to frame your print.

   You may purchase a print for $12.50 (including packaging and mailing costs). Please email your inquiry or fax a filled-out order form for faster delivery (usually mailed the day after a fax is received.) A local publication is currently featuring this print. Please be sure to quote that ordering info on the order form.

   Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Marie-Céleste by email mce@dhproductions.net or by phone (845) 454-8151. She loves hearing feedback.

The Letterpress Printshop

   A commercial artist for over twenty years, printmaking has long been a passion for DHP's owner, Marie-Céleste. When she made her letterpress print shop available to outside projects in 1999, she made the decision then that she wasn't "just going to work the handle of the press." She wanted to offer all her skills to clients and the only way to do that was for her to be involved from concept through to the finished printed matter.

   After eight years of working directly with the public on print projects, Marie-Céleste made the decision to remove herself as a commercial printer, effective Fall 2007, and focus on her first love, printmaking. She is concentrating on limited edition prints now and this page will soon feature her prints.

   Alas, she is no longer offering printing services for the bridal industry. To the many brides that will see her work below and just love them, you may purchase a licensing agreement to use the design for your stationery and she will happily work with your printer to ensure design transfer. For now, please feel free to browse the many, many images of the wedding invitations she designed and printed. Enjoy!
