Shiny Goodness.
I printed a new Metallic Silver (Pantone 877U, for all you graphic design aficionados) Keep Calm & Carry On Poster on white, high quality, recycled matte finished paper. So it's got this lovely sheen to it, but is very sleek and tasteful. I have to say, it's my favorite color to date and is neutral enough to go with many decors. Metallic inks are a bit tricky to photograph, but it's a very soft, silver metallic and the photos represent the shade pretty well. As always, it's available in my sfgirlbybay etsy shop.

Looks great, I love this tonality!
Gorgeous--I think i'm going to have to snag this one!
I love the soft sheen of this color, I've always been partial to grey and silver.
I've been waiting for this one! It's not up on the etsy shop though...
I noticed the red version of this print on Lipstick Jungle on Friday... Wendy had it up in her home office. Did you know about that? I thought it was awesome!
Enough with the Keep Calm posters! It was a charming print until it came became the defacto art for every person's home in every colour under the rainbow!
hooray for metallics!
Very awesome :)
Anonymous sure is a cranky pants this morning :( Well I LOVE it! Its sooo chic in that color!!!
Oh... love the new color! What a great neutral, especially knowing that I like to change paint colors a lot!
i've been dying to try silkscreening and have done a little experimenting. how do you get your prints looking so clean and crisp? care to share any trade secrets? i'd love a post about your printing process from start to finish.
btw - this post has been the silver lining for a gray sf day.
thank you everyone - i'm glad you like it! and i did hear about it appearing on Lipstick Jungle...thanks!
lulu - i think it's a few things - we started with good screens, the paper being very high quality (i used to be a print producer, so my background is in printing), and my friend is an expert who loans out his presses to me and helps me with getting the ink coverage just right.
Ok how much i LOVE this color!!! A LOT! I love it against white walls, white furniture...oh so cool!
I am enjoying catching up on your blog!
Do you send out to Canada?
Brenda - yes - you can find them in my etsy shop:
