Beacons
Woven into the design is a poem that paints a picture of these familiar prairie landmarks:
“A beacon of abundance, the prairiedise grew;
now weakened sentinels raising the new.
The fields are our legacy, living skies were our home.
Harvest yields guarded; the patchwork was sewn.
Many have fallen, the rest are in wait.
Grain, seed, flower, pollen; love, history, fate.”

SK Stamp
Rooted in the prairie landscape, the SK Stamp design is a sure-mark of home — where golden wheat sways and grain elevators stand tall in the horizon. Steadfast and enduring, these iconic structures once guided the rhythm of the working day and the travellers passing through, marking the promise of harvest and the strength of community. Much like a stamp, they tell a story; of where someone is from, where they’re headed, and the place they’ll always return to.
At Hardpressed, we take pride in our ever-evolving designs, each inspired by the province we proudly call home. To keep the creativity flowing and make space for fresh ideas in the print shop, some screens find their way to our archives. While a few products featured on this page may no longer be in stock, we’re a sentimental bunch – so there’s a chance you’ll see them again sometime!
