OK, it has been a few weeks since I got the Kesley Excelsior Type O vintage printing press that I proudly bought off of ebay! I have to be honest though and admit that I do have thoughts of what in the world was I thinking?!!! Still, I'm intrigued by everything I have to learn in order to print anything.....even one small Christmas card for 2011! I think that is exactly what I love.....the challenge. SO.....I finally ordered the new rollers from a merchant on Etsy. The came all the way from the UK so they must be brilliant right? They were on my doorstep today when I got home. I could not wait to open them. I'm just a little confused about all of the different ways I could go to create my christmas card. Do I just do a linocut? Or maybe a photopolymer design? I don't have any furniture for the type that I just bought. Can you just make your own furniture with wood? If I do photopolymer with boxcar press, do I still need furniture? What the hell is tympan paper?
