Looks like this app won’t see the light of day after all for a reason too convoluted to discuss here: So I’m offering here for mostly Loopers since you all have dev account to access this link to download.

For someone with diabetes who just can’t remember the procedures of keeping your insulin fresh, here are some labels to help you with.

DIY Double Roller Brayer

DIY Double Roller Brayer

We made a double roller hand brayer using two C&P letterpress rollers. The plastic parts to give some tension to the rollers were cut using a laser engraver. Shoddy tig-welding by us 🙂 Hoping that the additional roller would compensate nicely for the small roller diameter… Perhaps a different diameter rollers would even be better? …

Three Color Letterpress Portrait

Three Color Letterpress Portrait

We just finished a large (31.5″ long paper) slightly-larger-than-life-sized multi-colored letterpress portrait using our Vandercook press. We only used a dozen sheets of paper but luckily we managed to get a few decent yields.
