Letterpress printing ready for Poetry Book Fair

Strange how anxiety expresses itself. In the midst of preparing for Free Verse: The London Poetry Book Fair yesterday, I suddenly decided I must print business cards.

Inking the Adana and setting the very simple card was actually rather soothing.

The front of the card is very simple, with my favourite letterpress block in pride of place.

All the real information is on the back.

And now I am ready for the fair!

letterpress printing. love.

Blissful in my shed, printing with my beautiful de Little of York wooden font.

Look at the lovely black ink gleaming.

I made words that just came into my head.

I printed LOVE and OH YES

and then

DON'T FALL and NO!

I don't know if the four are related. I was too busy enjoying the process to ask myself!
