Welcome to Ruby Victoria Letterpress & printmaking
Here you will find photos of all my original hand carved linocut prints and letterpress printing. A commercial printer by trade a printmaker by choice. I specialize in original handcarved lino block prints with a bit of letterpress thrown in for good measure. All printed on antique printing machines with that unmistakable bite into the paper that you can only get with letterpress printing
The work that I do is not created on a computer everything is hand drawn then hand carved out of lino then printed one impression at a time on my tabletop letterpress machine
I do not use polymer which limits me somewhat in regards to type but I love to use traditional methods in my printing that involve handset type and hand carved designs and I think this is what make my work totally Original and Unique to what other people are doing right now and it also meaning everything I make is an original work of art I love what I do and love to share it with others that are interested Narelle

mini bookplates
Today has been for printing more mini bookplates the weather hasn't lent itself to much else today
Oh there is that amazing machine!!! the bookplates look very pretty! I'll have to scan in some of my prints and put them up on my blog soon. Just came by to give you a link to my friend Nickolay, http://tilcheff.blogspot.com his photos of wild life, birds especially are really beautiful. A lot of his photos were taken while he lived here in Tasmania. Very inspirational!
