Letterpress day

 

Fiona and I spent most of the day at Deckled Edge Press. We were working away on a couple of  projects. One task was to get our 2024 cards printed so that they can dry; and then be sent out for the new year.

We decided that we would send out a message of hope and kindness this year. 

Fiona has chosen to print the numerals in a gorgeous purple (opening photo); whereas I am letting bright orange introduce the year. 

Process photos follow. Each of the cards had to be hand rolled with the 50mm rollers in the opening photo as we wanted each card to be bi-coloured and printed in one operation of the press.




In all we have printed 80 cards in a nano-poster format (portrait) even though the cards will be sent as post cards (landscape). The 80 cards include some that are slightly different as I played with mixing and overlapping colours on the last 10-15 cards. The last photo is of a few cards that were rolled as I was removing excess ink before cleaning the rollers.

The cards will carry good energy across the country and globe.
