Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.

Thank you Kseniya for posting this.

I believe that Jessica Peterson has a wonderful idea of #freedomofthepress 

 

December 15, 1791 is the date the First Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified. 

The first ten amendments were adopted and ratified simultaneously and are known collectively as the Bill of Rights.

 

 Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

 

I will be sending my printed pieces to Jessica Peterson for the portfolio and I encourage you all to do so too!

 

It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you are on…the grass always looks greener on the other side; except for there are more rocks on that side

Hi Loly,

Congratulations on your new Kelsey! You don’t really need quoins and a key, because Kelsey designed their chases to be used with: 

Chase Irons – Two flat steel bars that are placed inside the chase and used to prevent chase screws from damaging furniture (wood blocking). They are not used with quoins. You will need six chase screws also. And some furniture for lock up.

If you don’t have them you can order them from the seller above; or if you are handy you could go to the hardware store buy steel bar stock, set screws and an allen wrench for the screws. Bring the chase with you so you can get the correct size set screws.

What kind of press are you using? Does it have heat? A floating makeready is where you tape a piece of paper to the platen. I like to use 25% rag bond paper. The counter for the die is taped to the die or if it has locating pins use those. Close the press up on impression to release the counter. You can use a spot makeready sheet under the paper to build up low areas. I usually cover the counter with a piece of mylar. If the mylar is too thick it will take some of the depth out. You will also want a makeready sheet under the platen. 

This is the print that Val Lucas contributed to the 2016 LoLP swap.

Thank you for your contribution to make this swap successful! FYI

?Desiderata? (Latin: ?desired things?) is a prose poem written in 1927 by American writer Max Ehrmann (1872-1945).  I have included two copies so that you may give one to a friend. The presentation folder was printed, diecut, and creased on a 12×18 NS C&P handfeed. The ink used is oil base PMS 415.  The magnesium printing die was ordered from Advance Corporation in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. Ksenyia provided the artwork for the LoLP die.

I have a few left to send out…the members located internationally and Ksenyia’s; because they need extra care for shipping. 

Maybe you could try packing under the form.

I have posted some pictures of the wonderful printed pieces for this swap on my page, please take a look at them. I will be adding more as the rest come in. It is not too late if anyone else would like to sign up. Please contact me for more information.

The first submission has come from far across the sea for the LoL swap. Please give Chantal Von Wattenwyl from Switzerland a standing applause. They are beautiful!!!

Happy printing!!

Here is the information I have so far for the colophon. Please proofread and make any needed changes. My direct email is camillerobin@frontiernet.net

I would like to set up a mailing list so if you haven’t sent me your direct email, please do so soon.

I know many of you are itching to get printing. Although final count is not in you would be safe to print 100. 

I will be making a presentation folder for the submissions and colophon. Your final sized print can’t be larger that 6.5 x 9 to fit into this folder. It can be anything you want to print; broadside, quote, card, etc. Please write or print your name and any other information you would like on the back of your piece.

This will fit into a priority padded flat rate envelope. Shipping cost to USA is $5.70 please include this amount to pay for return postage to you. We Have a few International members that are contributing and I will get prices for your county. I will need everyone’s shipping address. I will use my USPS account to print out shipping labels for each package, this will save you 40 cents, you will be able to track your package and will include $50 of insurance (although it really is priceless).

Due date…postage is going up Jan. 17, 2016. How much lead time does everyone need to send your printed piece to me? I realize several holidays are coming up and many people travel or have commitments already made. The sooner you send them to me, the sooner you receive your bundle of joy 🙂 If possible I would like to have everything no later than Jan 8, 2016, although we could shoot for the end of December. That would give you 7+ weeks lead time vs 9 weeks.

Please send your printed piece to me
