I’m exhausted and way behind schedule. However, last night, Addendum got its black. All 225 sheets. Compare the resolution of printing between wednesday (click on the image to see the messy ‘halo’ around the letters. and don’t be distracted by the double print, i was just saving paper): and Thursday Here is that delicious moment, when, your pile is almost…

trimmed and registered!
When I started at the Center for Book Arts, the first piece of equipment I saw was not 1 but 2 large board shears. They are incredible. Apparently, Paul Brubaker comes 1x a year with tools to square it up… Here are some of the sheets with deckled edges (I chopped 2 sides off so I could register the multiple…

Paper!
So Lee made me some beautiful cotton and flax fiber paper on a 12×18 laid mold. It took her a week to make 225 sheet (beating the fiber, mixing the pigment, pulling the paper, couching the sheet, drying the paper). I love it. Now I’m cleaning it. It takes me 4 hours to clean 50 sheets.

colophon
I was granted a residency at the Center for Book Arts. Today, I worked on the colophon (the descriptor text of a letterpress project) for my Addendum using Weiss Roman and Weiss bold 10 point face. My favorite part of my colophon is the bibliographic reference. Much abridged as I used up nearly all the numbers in the case. Setting…
