Here are two prints using my "new" to me printing press.
I used the same ink...Speedball water based ink.
My husband added some bolts and metal bar
to make a platform for the metal plate to ride on.I cut and layered a piece of suede and two pieces of wool felt
to put the stamp on and cover it to cushion the pressing.
I have made beaten biscuits with this machine..
but I just don't need the calories as much as I need a printing press.
Becky this is wonderful. I have no idea what your husband had to do to turn a biscuit maker into a printing press but I am so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteYour family members are all so inventive!
