I have been very lucky lately to be able to pick up a few lovely
things for my letterpress business and also this lovely calendar by Lori Dean Dyment, Lori creates the most beautiful monotype prints and her Etsy shop is really worth a look. http://www.etsy.com/shop/DeanDymentStudiosShe has been a solid favourite of mine since I first joined Etsy and remains to be so I adore her work.
My other two purchases have been a nice find, both used for shaving lead type one a straight edge the other for angle so that I can make mitred boarder frames.
I have also got a small book press on its way and some lovely 36pt type will post photos when they arrive.
The little calenders look really lovely, but the other two 'aquisitions' are looking a bit intimidating! Glad you are outfitting your little business more and more though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring my calendars. I'm jealous of your letterpress set up. I've never used one but when I see what can be done with one (like the things you have in your shop) I wish I had one too.
ReplyDeletewow I like the look of those tools!
ReplyDeleteThe calenders are very nice too, just saw it reserved for you in her sold items:)
I like her mono prints.
My lino tools may see the light of day before the week is out!
Hi Grace
ReplyDeleteI love the tool involved with letterpress the bottom photo is of a lead shaver it was made in Boston in the United States in 1880
You really should come for a visit and have a look if you are interested or you can wait till we have our little Handmade nation afternoon ! Its up to you and Pig really !
I wouldn't have a clue how to use those new tools, but they are gorgeous just to look at!
