Goat with Kid - Woodblock Print

Not such a successful print today...but as Mahatma Ghandi said:

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment.

Letterpress Prints by Charlotte & Philippa

22-74-im-blog-image-2646.jpg

Beautifully printed cards by Charlotte and Philippa at the letterpress taster workshop. Charlotte used a mix of large metal type to print ALICE and RORY. Philippa printed "And all the while a great wind carries me across the SKY..." in 10pt New Clarendon. Together they made "ThaNk YOu" cards using a mix of uppercase and lowercase Univers type. Thank you both for your dynamism!
