I finally put my Vandercook 325G to use on an editioned print for the 1st time! She worked great- I printed over 100 sheets in no time at all.

This press has a much larger print bed, so I can print large sheets of paper, but it takes way more 💪🏼 to move the carriage back & forth!

Here's a closer look at some of my new framed mini birds! Frames are deep enough they can stand on a shelf or hang on the wall.

Believe it or not, I chose this shelf at random for my photoshoot. lol

I'm realizing I never posted my finished murmuration prints! The backgrounds are one-of-a-kind monotypes, the murmuration is 4 layers of metal type. I asked my friends their favorite swear words then "hid" them in there 🙂

I don't need a calendar to know it's spring... I just wait for the robins and red-wing blackbirds to show up!

What are your favorite signs of spring?

I'm finally working on an idea I've had for 5 yrs! I'm recreating a murmuration using spent type (like in my crow print). Pictured are 2 (out of 4) of the forms I'm using & a few monotypes I've started printing on. Yay!
