oh? you thought this was a letterpress blog? it certainly had been a while since i printed anything. i’ve been volunteering at pyramid often but it’s difficult to share fun photos of me redistributing type or recount tales of cleaning a Vandercook with q-tips and a toothbrush.
yesterday?
yesterday was different. i printed for the first time since june. and it was
wonderful. several of the letterpress printers at pyramid are collaborating on
a calendar to raise money for the studio. i taught myself how to use
Illustrator and designed a calendar page for february. it was my first
two-color job and all that quiet time in the studio with my design made for a
fabulous day. also, did you know that the color combination of red + aqua is known as rockqua? (thanks, haley!)
