YIP ~ Day 59

YIP ~ Day 59 by Shooting the Kids.
Letter press.

Oh look -- more art supplies! These cool little metal letters are a part of the Archetype Press facility at the art college where I work. I'm not sure what typeface it was, but it doesn't matter--they have everything!

I even got to help print my own cards tonight. Sooo cool. Check out the other shot here.

I loooooove a printing press. My first business cards were hand made with a friend on his. I've been romantically involved with presses ever since.

bean* - Thanks, me too! I should try to remember to get a shot of the cards we printed for ya.

ella - That's awesome! I'm glad you're still involved with presses. It's such a cool thing to be reminded of--how type began! I know I could spend hours with it if I had the time.
