Whilst Saturday was about letterpress and shopkeeping; today was about creating large patinated leaves (some above), testing a design for a small scroll winder and completing two olive ladles.
The shop keeping was about dusting gold dust off the peace and joy Christmas postcards and cards and packaging them and adding them to the Deckled Edge Press shop inventory
I have been working on big (about 5cm wide and 27cm long) patinated copper leaves that will become part of outdoors sculptural installations. Some process photos follow.
And another photos of half of the stash.
Fiona is creating mini boxes with scrolls and asked if I could help with creating a rod winding thingy. So the image below shows a prototype.
We had sold out of small olive ladles - ladles with holes to let olive oil or vinegar through when serving. I completed a couple more this morning; and one sold this afternoon. Probably need to make a few more.
All in all a fairly productive couple of days.
Thanks for the rod-windy-thing prototype - definitely onto something. And yes olive ladles are good - sold 3 this week!
