Today is actually my
Fabric Friday but this morning I spent time with my friend Daniela and artist Pam Lobb from
Graven Feather to learn how to typeset and print. Since we owned a printing company a few years ago I was feeling so much at home, seeing cups of inks, mixing colour and browsing through type fonts and having fun. My friend Daniela was visiting Toronto and is leaving tomorrow for Vancouver and we decided to do something special together. Graven Feather, located on Queen Street West, offers different print workshops or you can rent by the hour.
Once we got the hang of it setting the word reversed we were inking the images and printing!!!
This old image mounted on wood from 1940 I purchased in a thrift store. You hardly could recognize the stamp image, but once I rolled the ink with a brayer on it came to life.
Pam, Daniela and me
SO Happy.........we printed lots of these little cards.
I had never heard of Gravenfeather - I will check it out!!!! I love that house! Great find :)
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! What a blast. I welcome your friend to my side of the continent.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I too have never heard of Gravenfeather....love that name. I have a ton of old wooden type from the Tweed Newspaper when my father's cousin changed to digital. Makes me want to play! WUNDERBAR!
