chapbook -- day 4 to 12

I'm almost done! Here are a few pictures from the last week:

paper "tongues," to try to stop the slurring at the bottom of the page (it worked!)

on the press, the palest orchid, but...

a solid lavender on the page!

my headache--eight hours of tiny, tiny (did I mention small) pieces of paper for makeready on the last plate.
that pic was after hour three.

it's still not perfect, but the last plate was finally printed!
