Rise to the Top with Tide-mark

How about Letterpress Greeting Cards? The illustrations and verses on these Vineyard Greeting cards are by Daniel Waters, an artist, poet, and printer, who lives on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. The original designs were created as hand-carved block prints. Mr. Waters has for many years contributed verses to Yankee magazine and the Vineyard Gazette, whose readers know him as “D.A.W.” The cards are printed by letterpress on Strathmore deckle-edge cover.
