I have yet to post anything about it, but I participated in a letterpress print exchange a couple months ago.  I made about 50 prints and sent them off and patiently waited until a couple weeks ago when I received the batch of prints in the mail (thanks to Kelly of Paper Stories for all her work organizing and executing this exchange).  What a treat!  Everything was fantastic and the swap contained very diverse styles.

For my print I used wood type to spell out TOOLS and then I carved a linoleum block with a spade, saw, pitchfork and hammer.

Now there is a giveaway being done on Poppytalk so if you’re interested in winning some fabulous letterpress prints, head on over and follow the instructions.

b&w seems to have seduced me this evening
