Old School
Part of the album: Lafayette Sculptures
At the festival there was someone using a very old printing press to make bookmarks. I've seen several printing presses before, but this one is a really neat design that has more moving parts than is necessary, but it still works after all these years, so that says something about it. Basically, a piece of paper goes on the bottom left side (on the red part), and you pull the lever which raises the green rolling pad uo and over the stamps, and then onto the giant ink pad up top. When the roller coats over the stamps, the piece of paper is pressed into it.
Neat, huh?
