loving the final one you've done. very nice idea with the recycled cereal boxes. One thing i do need to know is this? Waht the hell is potato printing? do you really use a potato? Cause it sounds fun and i like the results of random squint printing? kinda what i was looking for when i posted my stationary set a long time ago.

i call any kind of printing without a press potato printing. i get A4 sheets of rubber digitally etched with my stuff... then ink up and play. top fun next i will be making pictures by glueing down pasta shells and glitter. who needs photoshop. |

been looking into buying a letterpress today and stumbled on this company that print business cards with letterpresses... onto cereal packets! The United States Business Card Company and we thought we where the first folks foolish enough to try. goes to show. there's no such thing as a new idea. |

first ink-up of the business card... just using the single colour plate - then dropped in the scanner so you folks could see. need to get some printing inks - i'z only got black. And still can't seem to get a letterpress for under £100. pants. will keep trying. ![]() EDIT: before anyone says.. the green ain't printing ink.. it doesn't take to the card stock.
