OK here's the deal, this morning I had a meeting with a friend of a friend about maybe doing some Graphic / layout work for thisguy's letterpress shop. and my buddy told him how I was looking for letterpress type and such, so I had talked to him a few days ago and he said he'd sell me some of the LEFT OVERS for scrap if I wanted them. so this morning he gives me the nickle tour of the press room, and starts handing stuff. so I start freaking out cuz I only had $30 on me, any how he asks me where I buy my inks and I told him art store speedball for now, so his printer guy starts going though 1 pound cans of ink, and finds me 6 1/2 full 1 lbs cans of Basic Colors :), so I said something about going to the Mecca for Brunch and him and his printer are like cook let's go. any how after hanging out for a coupple of hours and a good lunch hanging out with letterpress men learning a bunch about printing, I end up with all these plates, type bars , ink,an invite back on a Saturday soon to hang out and play/learn, and the Promise of more plates/ type soon all for the Price of 2 Brunches so I skated out for under $30 and Learned a bunch! lots of potential in this lot :)


I'm going to file the tail if this b out in to an R and so many possibilities

I'm going to crop this plate down for the ii and the * maybe save the other letters for latter

OK my Favorite of the Lot I'm going to crop it in to 3 separate Plates so it will fit in my Cuttlebug
So many possibilities, My mind is Running wild thinking about it

Random Lead Type Bard the will be cut up in to Alphabets and Random words

Still deciding how I'm going to cut this one up :)
