The Wren

This book is a miniature, so that no side will measure more than 7.5cm. Once again, Lyme Bay Press have produced the photopolymer plates, which I used to print the small text on the Adana 5×8.

The third book in this series is now in the final stages of production. I have gathered the majority of the 260 engravings that I will need to make the 26 sets of random prints, lettered A – Z, which will raise money for the Trussell Trust and Medecins Sans Frontieres. The simple title engraving is shown above. The other text has been printed using an Adana 8×5. Once again, the text has been printed from photopolymer plates produced by the amazing (and speedy) Lyme Bay Press!

I have also trimmed the simple text pages

I have designed a label. Once this has been engraved and printed, I can select the card and thread, and pull everything together. Only 26 of these will be for sale.
