After having the letterpress induction, I felt that it was something that I needed to practise over time so that when it became relevant in a brief I would feel confident to produce a successful piece of work with minimal mistakes being made. To experiment with the process I decided to print my own christmas cards. This gave me something fun to do but would also be something that I could give to my family and friends so that they can keep up with the work that I am doing. As letterpress is a very precise method it took me some time to get the layout and fixing of the stencil correct. However after a few attempts I was able to complete some successful prints.
After sending my mum a copy of the above picture, she ordered me some stamps to print some more cards for her.
The stamps were from Noolibird and through ordering the stamps we were able to be in contact with Nula, the designer and company owner. Through this contact and the kindness of Nula, she has said that if I ever have a design that I would like made into a stamp, she would be happy to do this for me. This is a great opportunity and I am thankful to my mum for this contact! I hope to keep in contact with Nula and work with her in the future.
