For the Love of Letterpress

Letterpress is a dying art.  It is an old printing tecnique where the letters on the press actually indent the paper when it prints the ink.  Now if you want to letterpress you have to use an old refurbished press, they don't really make any new ones.  The cost of letterpressing is just too expensive to keep up with the current commercial presses.   When Chad asked how much I spent on making business cards...I just said, it may be expensive....but they sure are pretty.   I was so excited to make these buisness cards!  I had so much fun, and I totally want to buy a press, I just need some more cha ching$ and a studio that will fit one....which requires more of the cha ching! I really need to win the lotto, just so that I can make more pretty things.  Here's how cute they turned out!  I love them!
