Squeeee! THANK YOU!!! I want it all!

I have an FAQ flyer. I slip alot of my invites into table number stands like they have at restaurants the silver ones, I have a teeny tiny Adana letterpress that I take along to demonstrate the process. I clamp it to the table and lock up a small quote and get clients to print from it. Good luck!

Thanks so much for your advice 🙂

Thanks so much for your input 🙂

I never progressed actually! I decided just to outsource! (slack I know!!) Good luck though!

I used to always wash on the press first to get most ink off and then once they were nearly clean, take them off for one last wipe.

I started on a Pearl. Its a lovely press. It has all the same functions of a large C&P but more delicate and less acary (not that my C&P is scary now…) Treddle driven is also a good starter feature.  Only draw back to the pearl is it doesn’t open very wide when hand feeding (Ie the platen is still at around 30-45 degrees when fully open & some models have no throw off leaver.) but all fine to work with as a beginner. 🙂

Hey Angela, organising a swap is a big job and I really appreciate your efforts.

Did mine arrive Angela? Keep meaning to check to see if you got them!

Thanks guys!

Sorry for the delay guys, posting today from Australia. (I had just finished printing a new tag – and its school holidays) Exciting!!!

‘shop’ is a very loose term! I do participate in pop up shops 2-3 imes a year for 2-3 months at a time, but otherwise, my shop is in my house! And is messy.  even when I tidy it up, it gets smashed within an hour! sigh.I love these ‘studio inspiration shops where the desk space is all white with awesome artwork and plants like no-one has ever sat at the desk!

Basically I have thin draws for postage stuff – stickers, stamps, wraps etc. The deeper draws hold envelopes and cello bags.  The shelf holds the cards open flat, and the plastic boxes hold packed cards.

Not a perfect system as I always seem to run out.  Im going to get a stock/inventory control thing one day but its too much for my brain right now!

I just keep taking over the house!

I pack say 20 of each card into cello – ready for the ‘shelves’ and store them in long dvd or cd box storage containers with lids.  The rest I keep flat until I run out of the packages ones and then will wrap another 20 or so. I store the long cd/dvd boxes on a wire crisps display shelf I found on the side of the road! The shelves are deep and they fit one box high. My storage/work/junk room is a disaster area – all the time!

Im in for the final call please 🙂 Sorry I have been a little absent! But Bring It On!
