2011 letterpress calendar
Monday, November 15th, 2010
I participated in the Pyramid Atlantic Letterpress calendar once again this year with other members of the Pyramid Atlantic letterpress community. Each month was designed by a different artist. I chose April because it is my birth month and decided to focus on its birthstone, the diamond. It is a 2 color design using silver and magenta ink. There are still some calendars available for purchase. It’s $25 this year, which is a steal if you ask me! They are working on having it for sale on the Pyramid website but until then Update: Available for order on the website or you can purchase it at ArtSpring 821 Wayne Avenue, Silver Spring MD). All proceeds go to Pyramid Atlantic Art Center.
edge painting
Friday, May 7th, 2010
I’ve been dying to try this technique on a letterpress project and just haven’t gotten around to it. I think that edge painting makes such a dramatic statement. And it’s a great way to add a pop of color.
Ok, for the record, I am hear by saying that my next letterpress project I am trying this.
Some of the resources that I have found to help you with this technique: Briar Press & Crane & Co. Please share any advice if you have any experience in edge-painting. Thanks!
