<br />
Once again, simple and elegant was the brief - and I must say, its also a tiny bit quirky!<br />
<br />
This suite also demonstrates a neat work around for adding guests names to the invitation.<br />
<br />
Which leads me to a common question: <i><b>How do you add names to a letterpress invitation</b></i>?<br />
Sometimes, only specific family members are invited to a wedding - Adults and not children for example or friends but not their plus one and other potential awkward situations. <i>"Hi Aunty Carole, umm... it's just you and Uncle Harry that are
invited to our wedding, not your 4 children and your 8 grand-children
and 16 great-grand children... and no Bart the pony can not come - sorry...." </i><br />
<br />
To letterpress individual names would be - well kind of out of the question - as you would have to have a plate made for each name = $$$, so to get around this, we suggest several things:<br />
<ol>
<li>Don't worry about it, each envelope can be addressed with names eg 'To Mr & Mrs Smith' or 'To Rodney & Larissa MacDonald' or 'The Brice Family', even 'Adam and Partner' (or just Adam for that matter)</li>
<li>Leave a space on the invitation and have a calligrapher write in the names</li>
<li>Tie the invitation up with string and add a swing tag with guest's names</li>
<li>Use a belly band! (My personal fave)- A digitally printed belly band also keeps all items in the suite together and states specifically who is invited - Just so happens I have a great example of this below ;-) </li>
</ol>
Don't forget to add a 'Name/s' line on your RSVP as well as number of guests, so that any red flags raised can be addressed prior to your event.<br />
<br />
Another great idea for belly bands is to use them as place cards - wrap them about your menus and there you have it! (see last image)<br />

my Golding Pearl Old Style #3 was manufactured in 1893, Boston, USA.
It was shipped to Sydney where it remained until I dragged her over to
Perth. I thought it would be nice to research the events that were
shaping Australia during the 1890's, when my little press would have
been 'brand new' and in full operation!</span><br />

itself with a printing machine, and gets its singularities bruited about
in type, but where is the printing-ink champion of mankind's better
half? There has hitherto been no trumpet through which the concentrated
voice of womankind could publish their grievances and their opinions ...
Here then is Dawn, the Australian Woman's Journal and mouthpiece." <i>—Dora Falconer, (</i></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times" , "baskerville" , "georgia" , serif;"><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times" , "baskerville" , "georgia" , serif;">Louisa Lawson) </span>15 May 1888 "The Dawn"</i></span></div>
</blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times" , "baskerville" , "georgia" , serif;">
The whole journal was printed by an all female team of journalists,
editors and printers. The unionists in the New South Wales Typographical
Association, dis-allowed the Dawn printers membership into their all
male union, in part because the women were paid substantially less than
men. The association argued that the discrepancies in pay were such that
men would be unable to compete, as well as arguing that the work was
too dangerous for women to engage in.<sup> </sup>At one stage a member
visited their offices to "harangue the staff" – only to be removed after
having had a bucket of water thrown on them by Lawson. <i><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_self">[http://en.wikipedia.or/wiki/The_Dawn_%28feminist_magazine%29]</a></i></span></div>

I designed these Letterpress invitations to be suitable for
wedding, engagement, or save the date invitations even a special
birthday! The
product is an 'off the rack' item, meaning while it will be letterpress
printed with your details, the image and style of text is left as
standard to keep the costs down. There is no design or set up cost as it
is template based.<br />

I often get asked: 'On the wedding invitation, whose name goes first?'<br />
<br />
Well, while anything goes and any which way is acceptable these days, it' s more commonplace for the bride's name to be first - it's the 'ladies first' premise.<br />
<br />
Also, traditionally, the bride's family are the official hosts of the wedding and therefore they are inviting the guests along with the groom.<br />
<br />
Another interesting point is when you address a married couple formally, the husband's name is always next to the surname ie Sarah and Jim Jones.<br />
<br />
But, unless someone in your family or wedding party feels strongly about how an invitation should be worded, it's really up to you and your personal taste :-)<br />
<br />
There are may websites that offer templates and formatted text for you to use an of course our invitation <a href="http://www.fluidinkletterpress.com.au/#!fluid-ink-letterpress-gallery/c1zy6" target="_blank">gallery</a> offers a selection of wording styles and formats too!Fluid Inkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14458482212399634184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877149365096082825.post-26152731696618271222015-08-05T10:52:00.003+08:002015-08-05T10:54:11.625+08:00Marble and Geo Letterpress invitation suiteThis invitation suite was experimental. An excercise in registration and in combining a digital print with letterpress. The angles of the lines had to fit perfectly within the spaces on the digital print - a big ask when each card is manually fed into a 100yo machine! Never the less, it worked and I love it! It was produced for the <a href="http://www.perthupmarket.com.au/event/wedding-upmarket-29th-august-2015/" target="_blank">Perth Wedding Upmarket</a> in May earlier this year purely for me. To push the boundaries of the letterpress craft and modern design and to challenge myself.<br />

The lace (blind impression) forms a frame around the script text in silver.<br />
The cool thing about these invitations was the belly bands that addressed the invitation. They were digitally printed onto matching text weight paper.<br />
The same belly band idea was applied around DL menus and used as place card alternatives.<br />

It's so succinct and clear - it has even been printed using a letterpress - you can only just feel and see the indentation of the type through the pages and the photos are reproduced buy using a halftone screen of tiny dots.<br />
<br />
I have attached the book below as a super cool reference for anyone that is interested in researching or reading about the finer points of letterpress. (You're welcome ;-) <br />

Last month I thought it was time to repair a nick on the rails that I had put up with for some time by compensating in different ways, but I'd had enough!<br />
<br />
There were 2 'chunks' taken out of the <i>rails</i> where the platen had been shut while the <i>bails</i> were left open. Several times over the past 100 years it would seem to leave such a mess!<br />
<br />
Essentially, the <i>bails</i> hold the <i>tympan</i> and packing down on the <i>platen</i>, so when you change the <i>tympan</i>, you need to lift the <i>bails</i> to take it out. <br />
<br />
The problem with having such damage on the <i>rails</i>, is that in that spot, the rollers can dip down onto the <i>forme</i> and over-ink that part of the image = frustrating!<br />
<br />
A little research told me that steel putty could do the trick. Steel putty is readily available in hardware shops and if you happen to have someone handy in the family (like me) then you will find it on your shelf. (Thanks awesome husband for these instructions)<br />
<br />
1. mix the epoxy to the instructions of the tub.<br />
2. smear the putty onto the damaged area<br />
3. smooth it over but leave a slight bulge so it can be sanded back<br />
4. once completely set, sand back using coarse grit (~320) then sand again using a finer grit (~500)<br />
<br />
We made the conscious decision only to treat the damaged spot as once you start mucking about with the rail height, unless done VERY accurately, you can make a mess out of it pretty quickly.<br />
<br />
As you can see from the final results its pretty good!<br />
<br />
I have needed to re-tape the rails to get the rollers back up to roller height as is recommended. I use a special tape called UHMWtape/ slick surface tape (127um) - 18mm. I sourced this from Embossing Tape Supplies here in Australia.<br />
<br />
Next step was to re-level the platen.. but that's another story!<br />

A beautiful soft mint green script is splashed across this luxurious invitation. Another instance where these fabulous clients suggested edits and styling to the design which contributed to a perfect final result.<br />
Also, these super kind words make me feel a little bit special! <br />
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the most beautiful wedding
invitations! The suite was gorgeous, very high quality and beautifully
presented. We really appreciate how easy it was to work with you,
nothing was an issue and none of my many many emails seemed a bother. We
have had so many compliments on how exquisite the invitations were. I
have been recommending you to other brides at work and will continue to
do so. You do such beautiful work : )<br />
Thanks again Jess & Matt"<br />

The Inspiration for this wedding invitation was from the poem 'She Walks in Beauty' by Lord Byron<br />
It includes a square 140x140mm invitation, an envelope lines, a tag used to embellish the invitation as well as decorate bonboniere, and finally, coasters.<br />

<br />
I was extremely fortunate to win a scholarship from The Ladies of Letterpress, to attend a 5 week letterpress course at Central Tafe, Northbridge Perth Western Australia, through their Slice short creative course programme.<br />
<br />
Every Wednesday evening for 5 weeks, I was lucky enough to indulge in a few hours of creative typesetting the 'old school' way. Handling vintage Hamilton wood type some as big as 20cm with the most beautiful patina, locking them up, coating them in oil based inks and feeding them into a flat bed letterpress proofing press printer, felt like an extravagant indulgence.<br />
<br />
Being able to work with moveable type that I wouldn't otherwise have access to, and using proofing presses that I haven't worked with in the past was a real treat.<br />
<br />
Having an expert teacher like Bradley (36+ years industry experience) was also invaluable. There were so many little tips and hints that Bradley openly and encouragingly shared. Some basic practices that my own training (being self taught) had skipped over, such as using the type rule to measure the correct length of furniture, how the height of all type is uniformed and in measurable units that match up with furniture heights and widths so that a neat lock up is achievable. Even the 'quick' method to finding the centre of the paper or print.<br />
<br />
Of course, the added bonus was to mix with a group of other letterpress enthusiasts who shared a love of woodtype, lock up, oily inks and greasy machines.<br />
<br />
The collection of vintage presses included Hamilton wood type, 2 hot foil presses, 3 proofing presses, 2 hand presses including a beautiful (and massive) Improved highly ornamented Columbian press, as well as several other authentic letterpress tools of the trade - and then some!<br />
<br />
sigh...<br />
<br />
Please indulge me as I 'show off' the fruits of my labour, and join me in drooling over the amazing images very close to my heart. (course details at the end of the post)<br />

Letterpress has a 500 year old history and was commonly used until the mid 20th century. Central Institute of Technology has an excellent facility with traditional printing presses, equipment and one of the largest collections of typefaces in Western Australia. Small groups will be guided through the Letterpress process which involves composing and locking movable type into the bed of a press, inking it and pressing paper against it to form an impression. You will be able to experiment and create unique artistic prints.</div>

Born out of frustration mixed with a little procrastination (frustprastication?) I thought it splendid enough to share with my fellow Washi tape lovers. It should be noted that this was whipped up while I was cooking so 10 mins - tops (the decorating time is on top of this).

<strong style="line-height: 1.3em; text-align: left;">What you will need</strong><span style="line-height: 1.3em; text-align: left;">:</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">A plastic aluminium foil container/dispenser without the aluminium foil (see the cooking connection now?) - this one was purchased at Coles for around $5. - The genius here, is that the plastic caddy already has serrated teeth intended to cut the aluminium foil but do a rather good job at cutting the soft washi tape as well!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">A wire coat hanger</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Some pliers/wire cutters for cutting and bending the wire</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Spray paint (optional)</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Method</strong>:</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Cut the lid off the dispenser (you can keep it on if you like but I think the way the colours of the tape all lined up looks, is pretty!)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">If you are going to spray paint it, do it now or you can skip this step, put it all together and spray it later or just leave it and decorate with washi tape!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Measure the length of the plastic dispenser and add an extra 3cm</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Using the long straight edge of the coat hanger, cut it to length</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Poke a small hole in the middle of both sides of the dispenser (I used the tip of my pliers) </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Thread the wire through both holes -you want the fit to be tight so the wire isn't loose and falls out. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">On one end, bend the wire around on itself to form a hook or loop so you can grip and pull it in and out to load the tape. This also locks it a little and makes the end blunt.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Pull the wire back out and put all of your tape in. Be sure to have the rolls facing the right way so the tape rolls over the top and can be ripped off on the dispensers teeth. I un-rolled a little tape on each and stuck them each down.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Re-thread the wire through all the rolls of tape and cut the end of the wire so that it pokes out around 1cm</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Smile smugly at your marvellous organising tool!<span style="line-height: 1.3em; text-align: right;"> </span>
</li>

It means printing off several proofs and ensuring all lines of text have the same depth of impression as well as being inked with the same fine layer of ink upon the relief surface of the text or image.<br />
<br />
The first print off the press is very rarely (I don't think its ever happened to me!) perfect.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The above image is a first print. Its smudgy due to too much ink, but you can see that some lines have more smudging than others. Since my press is 100+ years old, the rails have been worn down and I have taped them up but they have been worn unevenly, so I have had to tape them unevenly too! It has taken me around 1 year to get them taped so that they are (nearly) even!</div>

This image shows the un eveness of the inking on one of the lines. The reason for this is the un-evenly worn rails at this point. Beneath the script text, the rollers jump in closer, onto the relief of the text and distribute ink to the sides of the text not just the very top of the text as is required.</div>

Not enough impression on the first 3 lines of this proof, more paper packing is needed behind the print to raise it up so each line is pushed in evenly.</div>

An example of a make ready sheet. You can see the different layers that have been built up sometimes one word or letter at a time. This sheet is placed beneath the top sheet or tympan on the platen and sits beneath each hand fed piece of paper raising each line to the right level.<br />
<br />
The aim of a perfect print is to get the ink sitting at the base of the valley that has been created by the text or image pushing into the paper, and not have any ink transferred to the walls of the valley. Let me point out that back in the days when these printers were used as the industry standard of printing, anything other than the ink sitting just on top of the paper (the ink 'kissing' the paper) was deemed poor craftsmanship, but of course today, an impression is the key!<br />
<br />
In order to obtain a perfect print and start the print run, I may need to pull 1- 5 proofs and adjust each time, sometimes a 15-45 minute process depending on 'The Admiral's' mood!Fluid Inkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14458482212399634184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877149365096082825.post-39648296689083634682014-03-04T12:37:00.000+08:002014-03-04T12:37:08.379+08:00Yellow and silver spring save the date invitationThis is a very simple design.

The really cool feature of this suite is the 'dearest' card. It is intended that this card has the invitee's names hand written onto them. They are then threaded with string and wrapped around the whole collection. (see last photo)<br />

They are for a surprise wedding celebration. (OK 2 ideas that I wish I had come up with!!) The design is simple and very modern which I love. They are printed onto our round coaster stock double sided and accompanied by a Kraft envelope.<br />
I printed some just with the couple's monogram on one side to use as coasters on the day, and they were a perfect match to our 'Eat drink and be married' coasters Available <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/107228405/wedding-letterpress-coaster-eat-drink?ref=shop_home_active_17">HERE</a>).<br />
