Octavian

I've officially tucked Bertha in for the winter; oiled everything, gave everything a good cleaning, (well, good enough for the moment) and put a big old sheet over the press to keep dust and grit off while I clean the rest of the studio.

I also brought all the stuff into the heated area that needs to not freeze, like ink and PVA glue.

And a surprise! Octavian in metal 14 pt! (Which, incidentally, is the only size available in metal.)

Holidays

Oh! I got overwhelmed with school stuff, and didn't get half as much holiday stuff done as I wanted to. I barely got my own cards printed. Yuck! The pine bough is actually part of the card set that I was able to print. Now I see why companies print holiday material in July/August; that's going to be the plan for next year!

A lot of the press work now is getting things tidied up for the end of the year, and also prepping for next year. Starting to think of new projects all ready! But as school calms down, I have more time to think about printing/designing/etc.

Happy Holidays to All!

(I can all ready tell you that my new year's resolution for BCP is going to be updating this WEEKLY. So I might as well start now!)
