I've been working on the designs for a new collection of letterpressed items called "Dead Things" for my shop,
Tweedle Press. The sets will hopefully include gift tags, coasters, stationery, and file folders:
I'll be printing several of the items on chipboard, because I love the way it feels and looks. Here are the 2" x 2" gift tags:
My ultimate goal would be to print to stationery on some of my hand made recycled paper:
But I'll have to see how much of that I can actually produce. The junk mail is piling up, but each sheet just takes so long to make! Here are the stationery designs:
First, though, I need to see about getting new rollers for my presses and some ink. I may just go ahead and buy the starter pack from Boxcar Press since I'll need a base anyway for my polymer plates, but I do want to do a little looking into other types of ink first. If I end up choosing a different kind of ink, I may need a different kind of roller. So much to do!
