The Scrolls will feature illustrations of Sargasso Sea species rendered by artists from the US, Bermuda and the UK screenprinted onto translucent handmade paper.<br />
<br />
Erin and I were in the studio this weekend to print the broadsheets that will serve as the key/credit sheet to the illustrated species on the actual scrolls. We printed three colors onto a beautiful rainbow roll background, previously screenprinted by <a href="http://pyramidscreenprint.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Marty and Becca</a>. <br />

Here are some photos taken by our photographer/taskmaster, Marty:<br />

With a little help from Leslie and myself, Amanda set all the text with lead type and printed these on the Universal! (The cute toaster image was done by screenprinting).<br />

There's been a lot of activity in the studio recently. One new member of our community is Brei Stevenson of <a href="http://cucumberpress.com/" target="_blank">Cucumber Press</a>. She recently moved to Richmond and occasionally makes the weekend trek up to Silver Spring to do some printing. I happened to come by one day as she was finishing up some prints:<br />

I've had a lot of people ask me how to do edge painting for business cards and other stationery projects. I can only give the vaguest answer on how I guess it's done, since I've never actually done it. But now I can give a much better answer... check out this post over on <a href="http://ohsobeautifulpaper.com/2012/01/the-printing-process-edge-painting/" target="_blank">Oh So Beautiful Paper</a>!juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15117278942672797147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046474445320492527.post-44335085064159625652012-01-09T09:41:00.000-05:002012-01-09T09:41:31.867-05:00In the studio...Happy Monday!

Melanie, one of our Letterpress Associates, had a beautiful baby girl last August and has been out of the studio doing mom-type things. But she's gradually making her way back in to Pyramid more often. This is one of her first projects since she's been back: personal stationery for baby Elsie!

Just thought I'd post some photos from our very first 2012 Letterpress Happy Hour! Erik came by to set some type for some new year's cards (above).<br />
<br />
Janine also came to set some type to make a wedding gift for some friends:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q6yHidfRRRI/TwYiLDPwC3I/AAAAAAAACEQ/Cq_iUi_3IUo/s1600/photo%252823%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q6yHidfRRRI/TwYiLDPwC3I/AAAAAAAACEQ/Cq_iUi_3IUo/s640/photo%252823%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
She also came bearing gifts! She brought a drawer of type (and cookies--not pictured). Here's the drawer of type in its new home:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L69o3EGXFr4/TwYiaTcdjKI/AAAAAAAACEc/rr9EPGHWO7c/s1600/photo%252824%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L69o3EGXFr4/TwYiaTcdjKI/AAAAAAAACEc/rr9EPGHWO7c/s640/photo%252824%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>And here's what the type looks like... it's an 8-point italic typeface:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LUEDONhzqE0/TwYi1FmRJuI/AAAAAAAACEo/lNvsiPjK9fk/s1600/photo%252825%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LUEDONhzqE0/TwYi1FmRJuI/AAAAAAAACEo/lNvsiPjK9fk/s640/photo%252825%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
And lastly, Lauren came by to finish up her prints:<br />
