I've been down with a nasty flu for a couple of days and it's been SO unpleasant... except for the occasional thought that my press is on its way!

Your excitement is palpable and I get that way at the change of season too - with or without arrival of new press. Good Luck with it. I am up to my ears in Leadlighting at the moment and have great ideas for some new ceramics! The interest in print making will have to wait awhile but I love your work and will continue to follow each step with interest! One day - one day - when I retire!! I think I have just bought a lovely cottage by the river to retire to - studio space as well!! I love my work so I don't want to wish my life away!cooraba@yahoo.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-86717315404032488622011-02-22T01:06:47.199-05:002011-02-22T01:06:47.199-05:00Yay......a press for you!

The bed is 11" wide. Not very big at all, but I think it will do for now. If I get desperate for a bigger press I can get access, it's just not all that convenient.<br /><br />Wendy, welcome! I LOVED reading about your chickens and seeing the lovely pics of your garden. (sigh) I'm in the arid interior (average annual precip about 9") with a completely shady yard. Ah, well. I'll be cheered vicariously by your hens.Sherrie Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967844327055630854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-10379678455369500002011-02-20T11:28:15.601-05:002011-02-20T11:28:15.601-05:00How exciting!

I'm getting my first 'proper' press this year, having battled with a cantilever proofing press for years, which can't cope with drypoint (have you had a go at that on rhenalon plates?) and struggles with lino bigger than A5, if you have that scale in the US!<br />I'll be interested to see how you get on - your prints are wonderful.Wendyhttp://www.hensinthegarden.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-79049309670863986112011-02-20T10:09:16.879-05:002011-02-20T10:09:16.879-05:00I just used my baby press yesterday!

It's so fast! So easy! Why don't I do this all the time!?Marissa Buschowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14902867977131616596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-35458073717312840102011-02-20T09:59:35.829-05:002011-02-20T09:59:35.829-05:00The beginning of your white print looks really int...The beginning of your white print looks really interesting.<br />How big is the bed of your new baby? (That sounds funny!) <br />I've done some solarplate etchings and they are really fun. I didn't bother with relief solarplate because, well, it seems like cheating to me. With all those sunny days in Salida you should be able to make plates whenever you want. The plates are kind of expensive, though. <br />I also did some embossing by hand and it was a real pain. So I'm excited to see how embossing on your new press turns out! Congrats!!Jill Bergmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16944474238989466997noreply@blogger.com
