So we know we have been slacking a bit since our last post and we totally apologize for our neglect. Things have been super busy as far as the biz goes, and with the holiday weekend 2 weeks back, we got off track a bit. BUT last Monday, or little red letterpress finally arrived and it's in perfect condition. We absolutely love it and can't wait to get our hands dirty with ink. We also were surprised to actually get some letters with the press. (Jen is opening them in the above picture.) They are tiny, tiny individual letters that you hand space on a plate to create the wording. We were so excited to see what was in the letter box that we accidentally spilled them all over the place... then spent the next hour organizing them and placing them back in their respective places within the box. Obviously, the top pic is our precious little red press. I've also attached some pics I pulled off the net to show you what our lettering looks like and how you actually put them in the plate. More to come soon. Our studio (in Jen's apartment) was set up this past weekend, so we'll have much to blog about.

This is what our letter box looked like.
You can easily see the comparison of size between the
actual letter and your finger. This is where you would
place the letters in the plate.
This is a final plate ready for press.
Final product. A pressed paper w/ lettering!
