Longtime readers may remember that a few years back I acquired an old Challenge proof press from friends who were moving out of the country. I named her Presszilla.
I had big plans for her. I was going to clean her up, get her inking assembly working again, and launch into a sideline of artist's books. Sure, I'd have to buy some type. And some book-binding materials. And....
But time went by and I discovered I had neither space nor time to get Presszilla in order. She's been languishing in storage and my guilty feelings have multiplied.
Yesterday, however, she took off on a new adventure. She's on her way to a new home with folks in Virginia who will love and cherish her. Fare thee well, Presszilla! I can't wait to see what rolls off your press bed.
Wow -square footage reclaimed for breathing and something el$e
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to reclaim square footage, but I DO get out from under a monthly storage fee. And Presszilla gets to live with people who will love her. Yay!
DeleteI remember Presszilla fondly from her stay in the garage at the big house. I'm glad she's off to a new home, and you don't have the storage fee any longer. Will the new caretakers send updates? ;)
ReplyDeleteyay for not having to pay a storage fee, money to put towards more print supplies :D
ReplyDeleteHopefully I'll hear how she settles in Virginia, would love to see some work that comes from her. And yes, yay for more money for supplies. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI remember when you bought that little beauty! I hope her new owners will get much joy and wonderful creations from her.
