| Last December, Kelly Moran organized a letterpress print exchange between sellers on Etsy. Over 40 people signed up and the prints are due by March 15. I started mine last week — I haven’t made a wood type collage since last summer, so it was fun to plan out the colors and go through my wood type drawer choosing the blocks to use. While I was at it, I decided to do 2 designs, one 8×10 the other 5×7, in several different colorways. Below are 2 of the resulting prints — the one on the far left is for the print swap. The photo to the right shows the set-up for the print run for the first color of the print below right (it looks awfully yellow but is actually green!). Next up is figuring out the titles (that’s probably the best part of the entire process!), numbering and signing them, and finally shipping the swap prints to Kelly.
