I was able to complete the Letterpress II class!!! I was very surprised at the amount of information I had retained from the first class. I had so much fun coming up with the design and mixing the ink. When it comes to the ink a little definitely goes a long way!
Realising how finicky the press can be and made me, once again, be in awe of how large projects were produced on the letterpress in the past. Flexibility is a must when it comes to design and I have to be willing to make mulitple adjustments to the press in order to produce an evenly inked print that can be used.
I am pleased with the thank you cards I produced. It was great to see how different the same design looked on paper of different textures and colors. I was excited about the combination od a polymer plate design and lead type. I'm looking forward to designing my next letterpress project.
