Work in progress: Keep on running letterpress and silkscreen print

Here is a sneak peek of my current project combining letterpress, digital design and silkscreen printing, this is at the pre-silkscreen stage of the process.

Babies!

One of the best things about growing up is your friends having children, which means I've been busy designing and screen printing cards to print for some of my favourite little people.

New business cards

New business card experiment screen printed using the screen filler technique.

Painting on to the screen

I have been painting on to screens with screen filler to print reversed out. The top photo is the screen filler on the screen and the bottom one is ready to print with black ink. It makes screen printing so much quicker and easier to prepare. Today I have printed two posters and eight business card designs.

Letterpress seed packets

I've set some lead type and ornaments to print onto tiny brown envelopes to turn them into seed packets. The information recorded on each packet will be the name, when to sow and notes. I was inspired by Small Caps blog after reading about seed swaps.
