I got to work on another great custom print for an etsy buyer, Emily : “The Certain Thing is that You Can Change Everything”
My cheat sheet. I can’t print without my printout… it just helps to guide, check spelling, see mirrored letters etc.
First type setting: some of my wood types don’t come in too many of them… so when I have to print certain letters many times in a phrase or sayings, I have to break it down so I can use the letter again. So here, I’m printing the 3 lines first. And sometimes, I have to flip letters upside down to print… there are sometimes lot of thinking involved to print, you have to be very flexible, I think.
Love the pink press… :)
The first 3 lines:
Now, setting types for the rest of the lines…
the letter “T” is used 6 times in this phrase, I still don’t have enough so here are 2 more lines, but not completed:
Print on top of the first round:
Setting the rest of the type:
the last T from “THAT”:
“THING” from “EVERYTHING”:
and finally printed!
Some close up of the nice texture it gave:
I hope Emily like it! Thank you so much, it was another fun printing!
That looks awesome! I need to think of a phrase – that pink is awesome!
Thanks for showing the process; it is always neat to see what goes into making something that you don’t know much about. I kind of like some of the images where you can figure out what the words will say, but some of the letters are still missing…
That is awesome. You do such great work.
