digital letterpress

Saturday was the second half of my letterpress class using photoplymer plates.

Because we were being taught who does printing as their work, I learned a lot.  But also, we had a chance to play.  That was so much fun!  

I was able to work with my tree on different papers and with metallic ink.

And I made some stationary.  I practiced with words too.  I learned how I would make plates differently as well.  I can see where in the future I would really like my own printing press, whether it is one I build myself from instructables or a real letterpress.  And there are still more classes at the Museum of Printing History I wish to take!

We have been very under the weather around here.  Everyone has been very sick with a stomach virus so this was really the high point of the weekend.  Each of us is barely out of bed.  Yeseterday, I could not lift my head out of bed to post this and I was actually feeling a bit better later in the evening.  We have to get better.  We are driving to a fiber fair later this week!
