Cuckoo Clock Finished!

Here's the finished letterpress cuckoo clock I made!

Embroidered Lion Print

Not completely finished yet, but I had to photograph it for senior exit review so I thought I'd post it. I just have to embroider one or two more flowers!

And in case you were wondering how this was made, I'm really proud of how I did it, because to my knowledge nobody has ever done it before!! I sewed embroidery fabric onto museum board (with the help of Veronica Bayagich. Then after a few test prints, I inked up my lino carving and rolled it through the letterpress, and voila! Then I embroidered it with standard embroidery floss, which was pretty tough because getting the needle to go through museum board takes some extra effort.

85% Finished Cukoo Clock

So I letter-pressed my cuckoo clock design using photopolymer and this is the result! It was printed on quality paper then mounted on museum board and hand cut out with an Xacto. Needless to say my fingers hurt after cutting this bad boy out! Now all there's left to do is attach the letterpress pinecones with chain material! Final picture will be posted soon!

Letterpress Promo Package

Our last assignment in letterpress class is to create a promotional package of business cards and coasters. I'm using the personal logos I created in another class for them. I'm going to print the business cards black and white, but I'm probably going to play with the colors for the coasters. Promo packages mean it's coming down to the end of art school :( :( :(

First Letterpress Print!

This is my broadside poster for Letterpress class. It's a Death Cab for Cutie lyric. I just really wanted to illustrate ornate keys and a locket :p
