Nothing wasted No. 1: I think this is officially the first full can of ink that I've devoured. Transparent White, of course, is in just about every PMS color...and I guess I use a lot of those really really light colors.
Nothing wasted No. 2: I'm part of a group of printers, doing a collective promo for the
Stationery Show. The theme is recipe cards, and I've been stumped...until today! Inspiration finally hit, and I pulled out
my Valentines hearts and the almost-empty can of transparent white, for the first color/background layer of the print. I'm super excited about my card, now that it's in progress. And I can't imagine why I don't print with just trans white more often--I love it!
The two whites: today the Vandercook was inked up with the
other white--Opaque White. It doesn't get much use in my shop (and I had heard that it was a pain-in-the-behind to clean!), but this project called for it...albeit with a little dash of yellow. Truth be told, I impressed myself with how clean my rollers were--the white was very true first time out!
All that ink, for just a few prints...these are the proofs for a one-of-a-kind, custom personalized guest book.
And...I shipped to a new country today! It's always exciting to send little packages of pretty things out into the world, and today this
Grass is Greener print started it's journey to Sweden!
