Pulp from recycled card stock, which produces an unpredictable mix of colors when paper is made. The print-heavy material lends little spots of color. Veramente carta riciclata mista. Looks good enough to eat! But I would recommend against it. 😊

In memory of my mother, the San Francisco Center for the Book is offering the Alice A. Forlin Memorial Scholarship, covering full tuition & materials costs of a week-long intensive in either bookbinding or letterpress printing during the Winter 2025 term. Deadline is 1/19/2025

Letterpress pressure-printing experiment: a piece of newsprint placed between the paper and the cliché, and pressed with a Vandercook cylinder.
