PRINTED THE FRONT OF CARDS

Went straight up to the studio this morning after I braved the snow to go get a Starbucks jolt.


Nothing better than being in a warm studio when it's snowing outside!

First I had to dust off Harley, my Ettan Press...


Then get it all set up with papers under the jig and a pressing mat board.


Then stir up the ink...


Roll the ink onto the plate...


And pull the first print and make adjustments if needed...


And just keep repeating until the pile of paper is gone...



I was done before 10am - time for a walk.  The snow has stopped, the sun is shining, but the temperature has dropped, better bundle up.

Still lots to do before these cards are ready to mail.

Stay tuned.
