Just in time for the holidays, new Mythril Made products!
We’re always working on new things here at Mythril Made where we make handmade products inspired by fantasy and sci-fi. Just released in our Etsy shop at mythrilmade.etsy.com:
Our “Scenes at the Shire” line of letterpress cards:
- Get Well
- Happy Birthday
- Happy Anniversary
We love these cards as they feature one of our favorite pieces of artwork, an image of a comforting Hobbit hole we previously used on our best selling Christmas card. Like all our letterpress cards, these cards are handcrafted and pressed by us on an over 60 year old press just as the printers of old used to do. We think you’ll enjoy these cards for whenever you might have an occasion to use them and we have more cards in this line coming out soon so check back in a couple months for more options!
Ceramic Tile Coasters
- Prancing Pony Porter
- Shire Homes
- Shire Homes in Winter
- Shire Doors
We really like our recycled rubber coasters featuring “Shire homes and doors” with a beautiful water color painting on them so much, we needed to provide more options, so we printed up the same artwork on ceramic tile coasters too! These are classy looking and fit nicely in any room and are washable should the Hobbit in your life spill a bit of coffee or tea on them. We’ll have these available within the next few days.
Finally, our biggest production, new stationary!
We’ve designed a slew of new stationary designs for fans of fantasy that cover everyone from Game of Thrones, Vikings, and middle-earth, and we updated some of our existing stationary lines as well. New in the shop:
- Letterpress Stationary: Ring of Power in gold foil
- Letterpress Stationary: 3-headed Dragon in gold foil
- Letterpress Stationary: Tree of Life in silver foil
- Letterpress Stationary: Horn of Odin in copper foil
- Letterpress Stationary: “Shire Door” in green ink

Have Yourself a Merry Shire Christmas
Just launched, our newest card and probably our favorite, “Have Yourself a Merry Shire Christmas”!
We love everything about this card, the gold foil lettering, Santa and his sleigh, and of course Gandalf enjoying his pipe while sitting alongside a very welcoming Hobbit hole.
Printed on cotton paper with soy ink graphic and lettering in gold foil, we like to think if a Hobbit made this card, it would look and feel just like this, hand-crafted with care and a site to behold.
If you have a Hobbit in your life, they are sure to enjoy this card!
You can purchase this card and see more images, a video, and printing details on our Etsy shop:

Here’s an additional video of the printing process!
Victorian Era Christmas and Holiday Art Cards
New to our Mythril Made shop on Etsy, Victorian Era Christmas and Holiday Art Cards!
We’ve selected 6 scenes from turn-of-the-century Victorian art of Father Christmas/Santa Claus and seasonal gnomes, animals, and scenery and turned them into holiday gift cards. We’re big fans of old school printing here and love the art and lithographic printing style of the Victorian era and felt these pieces made a nice complement to our hand-crafted letterpress cards. Though we use modern techniques, our Victorian Christmas cards are reproduced to reflect the original art and style of printing.
Cards are available individually or in a 12-card bundle (2 cards of each design) at https://mythrilmade.etsy.com.
Lithographic Printing and The First American Christmas Card
As we were contemplating new card lines for the holidays, one of the ones we decided to produce were Christmas and holiday cards using Victorian-era art which uses a specific printing technique called lithography. While we’re not using that technique today on our cards, the history of it is very interesting:
In 1875, Louis Prang, a Prussian immigrant, published the first American Christmas card from his shop in Boston. The method for color printing at the time was ‘Stone Lithography’, where the artist drew the images directly on to a polished limestone block with a grease pen. The block was moistened with water, inked then mechanically pressed onto paper. To achieve shading and color variations the artist would draw ‘dots’ or lines in to the image. This shading and color is very much evident when you look at turn of the century color cards where the dots are quite visible. In the early 1900’s the process evolved and instead of using a limestone block the images were drawn onto metal plates using the same principals. You can estimate the age of color cards by the dot resolution. In the early 1900’s thru today lithographic printing continued to improve with modern equipment and techniques that were able to use photographic means of reproducing the images onto metal plates, which is called ‘offset lithography’, which today we call offset printing.
