Ruby Victoria Letterpress & Printmaking: Just for the fun of it

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

Just for the fun of it

This is what I do when I have day that I don't really feel like working to a plan
I have been wanting to print some of my wooden type for a while now and just never seem to find the time so today instead of finishing orders I crack out the wooden type and started printing for the fun of it, I love printing, when it is done for the fun of it !

I hope you are all having a wonderful day
