letterpress Saturday

On Saturday, I got a chance to work on my business cards.  I, currently, have one more style for my sister to make and to design a card for my best friend.  I have ideas but not a lot of time without Small Mister this week.

After errands on Saturday, I had a bit of time.  I still have problems getting the paper to sit in the same place every single time.  I am also figuring out what is just the right amount of ink.

It is just one of my obstacles.  I make the best faces and peer at every pressing.  I have to pay attention to what I am doing because the moment I get distracted something does not go the way I wish it.  I find the process can be very meditative.

I am very pleased with the end result.  I will have a few hours on Saturday morning to do some more.  We have Small Mister a lot this week and my allergies are bad.  Allergies make me move slowly.  

The best part, that I did not got pictures of, was that Small Mister pulled his own prints on scrap paper.  He had to show everyone what he did.  It made me smile.
