Letterpress

Here are some pictures from my first letterpress image. I hope this is the first of many.
Each colour is printed separately and each paper fed through the press by hand. I printed these images on a 12"x18" Chandler and Price press from the 1920's.
The image was inspired by the never ending winter here in Montreal and Scandinavian pattern design.


Each colour seperated. My sketch scanned and then other colour shapes created.


I originally intended to print one colour for the jacket pattern but made a mistake in registration and liked it even more.
