Wow – It has been AGES since my last post but it has been time well spent! The printing press is now up and running and we’ve had lots of work done on our house. This is just a quick post to show one of my first finished printy thing, a birthday card for a friend who is a whale enthusiast.
The black ink hasn’t taken as well as I’d like but it was the end of a printing run of wedding invites so seemed little point in ‘topping it up’. It seems to plod on forever on almost no ink so a tiny bit goes a very long way! The colour was hand painted afterwards with a water based dye called Brusho. I met a very talented artist called Gerard Hobson at York Open Studios a month or so ago, he uses the same inks and recommended them – I love them!
