Rhian in London and I have been talking about this project since December last year and we finally agreed on this and I got to print with wood types — came out so nicely that I wanted to share it with you here, too.
My cheat sheet. Because all the letters are mirrored, it gets confusing when you are typesetting them so I printed this and brought it to the studio. It worked! No misspelling or upside down words.
The first 6 lines � there wasn’t enough “W”s so I had to break the line.
On the Vandercook Press:
The last 4 lines — I had to set it from the end of the first 6 lines.
and end result…. here!
I’m so happy with this! Rhian seems to be very happy as well!
Love it! Where can I get one for my island husband to hang on the wall in my Caribbean travel company office while I dream of mangos?
Hi Laura-
thank you so much! It was a custom order so it was only made to my client… sounds like a perfect poster for you and your husband!! :)
I am indeed very happy – the print has arrived and it looks absolutely perfect, I can’t wait to give it to my boyfriend and get it hung up on the wall. Thanks again for all your help – you’ve done a great job!
Rhian-
Yaaaay!! So happy to hear that!!! You have been great to work with, hope your boyfriend is going to love it!!! (HE WILL!!)
…he does! We just need to get it framed – thanks for all your work. It will be hard to trump!
