Inslee x Magpie Love Prints.

Ed. update: Prints are live at Shop Inslee: “10 I Love Yous,” “Marriage Is,” and “Green Flags.”

I am beyond excited to share that today at 10 A.M., my dear friend Inslee Fariss and I are launching Love Prints, a limited edition collection of hand-numbered, hand-signed poetry prints authored by yours truly and featuring Inslee’s art. You can purchase them here at 10 a.m. (Prints available: “10 I Love Yous,” “Marriage Is,” and “Green Flags.”)

For years, you have been generously inviting my words into your mornings; I have long dreamed of finding a way to share my musings in a more tangible way – something similar to a note left on a desktop, a reminder on a bedside table, a gift to a loved one.   I approached my talented artist friend Inslee with the idea of printing some of my words and having her elevate them with her signature evocative, playful artwork.  The result is this charming set of 6×8 prints, which make a perfect gift for a mother, bride, sister, or friend, or a stirring desktop reminder to “make love the point.”

I am so proud that this undertaking – the first time I have made my writing available for purchase – was born of creative sisterhood.  I have known Inslee for decades; we have been cheering one another on in our respective lanes for years: her at the easel, me at the keyboard.  Meanwhile, the Magpie community has become, over the years, a special kind of sororal space where women meet in the comments to let one another know “you’re not alone!” and “have you tried…?”   It is fitting, then, that these limited-edition treasures were designed by two women for other women – whether you are keeping the note on your desk, framing for your best friend, or giving to your daughter on her wedding day.  

Onward!!

+We recommend framing using these 6×8 lucite blocks if you’re styling on your desk, bedside table, dresser, console, etc. For a slightly more dramatic presentation, you could also center the print in an 8×10 lucite block. (Bonus: affordable and arrive overnight!). Just think of how beautiful this would look placed in a box filled with crinkle paper as a gift for your sister’s wedding day, Galentine’s, etc.

+If you want to frame and mount, I just placed an order for Framebridge’s Irvine frame with the “float mount” option to hang all three on the wall of my studio. I feel like the float mount option made the paper feel more tactile, and the words more visible.

+The prints are based on my musings 10 I Love Yous, Marriage Is, and Green Flags, which have been some of my most popular pieces to date. I hope you enjoy!
