Please note:
> Every card is carefully printed by me using ink rollers and a small metal etching press
> I mix my own ink colors every time I print a batch of cards, so colors may vary very slightly
> Your card will look almost identical to the cards in the photographs here but there may be tiny differences because every print is unique and extra special - this is the charm and appeal of block printmaking by hand!

I carefully package all prints and cards to try and best prevent any damage in transit. I use almost entirely recycled & recyclable materials as packaging, and try to avoid the use of plastics or bubble wrap. A typical order will arrive in a recycled cardboard mailer, with some recycled tissue paper for padding. I also use compostable plant-based protective sleeves when needed.

Yes! Please send me a message on Etsy or send an email to info@winterpicklepress.com and I can send you wholesale information and/or samples as required.
All my cards and prints are handmade using a technique called block printing. I use different types of linoleum blocks (or "plates") into which I carve my designs, so the prints resulting from this method are usually called linocuts, lino prints, or linoleum prints. I use special sharp carving tools to cut my design out of the lino block, and then using rollers (or "brayers"), I roll printing ink onto the surface of the block.
I then transfer the inked design onto paper or card using either my small etching press (the paper and block are pressed between a metal roller and a metal plate) or with the use of a printing baren which looks a lot like a large flat spoon.
Some designs require the use of multiple linoleum blocks and ink colors.
