Hot foil stamping and blind emboss on cotton paper

Available for hire

Former luxury packaging designer who now makes purely abstract compositions using hot foil stamping, blind embossing, and debossing on cotton paper. The interplay of raised/recessed surfaces catching raking light, plus the mirror-flash of metallic foil, creates textures you want to touch through the screen.
