bookhou at home

yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind with little piper being sick - it's hard to believe that someone so little can vomit so much. it was quickly dealt with and she was in good spirits considering her extra hot body. she is feeling better now and life is back to usual. I recently purchased a boxcar base and I couldn't be happier. I like the precision of the object and find the grid very useful for registration - you can also purchase the plates from them, but I get mine done locally - it's cheaper and much faster. basically you use there base to mount your polymer plate - the plate has a flexible back that adheres with two sided tape. I found the printing quality rather good and like that my plates didn't have a base - makes storage much easier. your plates can be used repeatedly - if the tape wears off or gets dirty you can put new tape on. the thank you image is a new design that was inspired by these business cards I printed. I really like how the text is raised. I love the tactility of letterpress printing.
