Visagefaces

❦

Continuous-line portraits drawn from guests' own photographs, printed in terracotta on raw kraft board.

Kraft paper invitations with single-line female faces printed in terracotta ink

Every card carries a different face, each drawn in one unbroken line without lifting the pen — the discipline is what gives them their calm.

Kraft board was chosen for its flecks: the terracotta ink sinks in unevenly and each portrait ages differently in the light.

A small family of four designs lets an entire year of events — engagement, birthday, save-the-date, thank-you — read as one household.

“One line, one breath, one face. If it broke, we started again.”
