End of September as deadline for signing up is great. Are we aiming for finished cards by end of January? Looking forward to it! Yippee!

So, folks. Are we up for this birthday card swap? Do we need an organizer? I’ll be happy to do that, unless someone else wants to do it. We can set a date a couple of weeks from now as the end of the sign-up and go from there.What do you all think?

I’m fine with January and with waiting on shipping costs.Where will we be sending these? Remind me.I’m looking forward to this!Thanks!

Cool! I would like 2 or 3 of each card, too. Right now, I expect to print either postcards or A6 cards with envelopes. Did we agree on a due date? Late January, maybe?Thanks!Ren

We could leave the size up to each of us; that way we can use what we have. I don’t expect that anyone would go poster-size :-)Envelopes: hmm. What if we provide envelopes that coordinate somehow with the card. Companion print? Or not. We can leave that to the printer. Maybe some of us would want to print Birthday postcards. . .?I would prefer…[Read more]

Yes, I would like to be in this swap! Could the due date is sometime in late winter or early spring?Ren

Jamie,I would like to buy the wood type. Do you use Paypal? Let’s talk: ren.vasiliev@gmail.comRen

For clean-up, I roll as much ink as possible off onto newsprint—put newsprint on the ink disk and let the rollers roll over that; change newsprint and do it again and again, until there is very little ink left to use a solvent on. I use mineral spirits on the press, but I use concentrated CitraSolv on my hands in the sink. That works very well.

Ok, you let me know! 

Yes, sending two sets would be more expensive. How much more would you need? I’ll get a check out to you right away. Ren

Oh good! I got busy with stuff and then yesterday wondered if they had gotten there. You must be a mind reader to have let me know today :-)I hope that you and everyone else likes them.Ren 

I’m done. I sent them out and you should have them on Monday.Let me know if anyone is dropping out; I’ll be able to do another one fairly quickly.This was great fun!Thanks.Ren

Orientation: Want to do them all horizontally? Or, if no one else responds, then we can do them however we want.

Yes, let’s divy them up. I’ll take March and I think then all the months are accounted for? Thanks Angela!

I’ll do a second one, too, if needed. Any month that needs doing is fine.The Make Things Workshop

We could leave the covers up to us, so that each of us could make whatever we want for the cover. This way, too, we could bind or not bind our calendars because each of us is finishing ours. We would, of course, put some sort of statement saying that this was all a result of Ladies of Letterpress. Am I making sense? What do you all think?

Let’s do enough for 3 sets each.

I would love to do August! Please?!Ren, The Make Things Workshop

We could do postcards and print them on whatever stock works for us, rather than doing postcard coasters (although those of us who might want to print postcard coasters could still do so).

I might actually want half a case for future projects, too, which is why I’m also interested in where you get them.
