Nargles in the Letterpress

[justartison]

awww you so clever.. thanks for the great wallpapers!!!

[stereodreamer23]

I own 3 letterpresses--a Kelsey 6x10, a C&P OS 10x15 and a Kelly-B. Plus we have a Vandercook 3 at school... I love letterpress, and even though I've been working with computers to do design since the Mac FIRST came out, I LOVE letterpress. I bought my first press in 2002 and have been hooked ever since... Cool video--but what's up with your Vandy? Do they only let the grad students at RISD use presses with ink rollers?... LOL...

[siriusismyhero]

holy crap I'm really jealous of that type shop. That's so freaking cool. At my school we didn't even have a full font set and you have TONS.

Did anyone else notice that the first link for the card is kinda FTL? It says "NARGES".... Either way though, NERDFIGHTERS FTW

[CordyBear1]

@BroderickAnthony It says "watch out ffor narges in the mistletoe" xD

[blythe025]

That is totally awesome. I wish I had access to a letter press.

[charlottepoet]

i *heart* letterpress :)

[Radioactivcheese]

That is hardcore.

[CallidoraLBlack]

Awesome video! Happy holidays, Karen.

:o)

[slavicpolymath]

This speaks deeply and painfully to me. Because publicly I'm a language and religion nerd, but deep in my heart of hearts I am profoundly geeky about typography. Woot.

[Dreadkiaili]

As a print/font nerd, this was awesome

[blessedbyacurse]

:D wow wish i had a letterpress

[Sanstout]

taking it old school with the letter press; love it. have a safe and happy holiday; watch out for those nargles

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

Wow, that was quite interesting.

Either way, Merry Christmas and 5/5 and a fave from me.

My Xmas vid is up tomoz ;)

[owlssayhooot]

Thank you SO much for the card, Karen. I got it today and it is lovely :D xx

[base753]

[kaibaonfire]

This is pretty awesome. :) Happy holidays!

[hopeonatenspeed]

[lumosdawlish]

So cool to see how you did this! Our card came in the mail yesterday and it's now displayed on our Christmas tree. Thanks so much!! <333

[lvlyraindrops]

This is really cool. And I love this song.

Happy Holidays!

[xperpetualmotion]

Yup, it's a great song. Happy holidays!

[bandgeek8408]

=) Happy Holidays to you, too!

[xperpetualmotion]

Merry Christmas Matt :)

[LifeTheUniverseAndPi]

basically the most amazing thing EVER

I am increadably jelous of your access to a letterpress!

[xperpetualmotion]

I know, I'm going to feel so deprived once I graduate and can't use it anymore!

[LifeTheUniverseAndPi]

is it at your school? I wish my school was amazingly awesome enough to have a press

[vasniltere]

There is just something about the letterpress that makes every copy unique.. Cool.

[xperpetualmotion]

Yup, definitely. I love using it :)

[CleverestWitch2188]

Oh cool. A fricking letterpress at your school FTW.

I totally would have done mine backwards the first time. Don't think you'd make such a noobie mistake. :]

[xperpetualmotion]

haha, that's one of the first things they teach you not to :)

[outofmyelement]

this is great, Karen! I've always wanted to learn how to use a letter press.

[xperpetualmotion]

Well if you're ever near RISD I can teach you =)

[PKMNnerdfighter]

Ahhhhh Letterpress~! <3

[kateribethrose]

I loved that! It would be so awesome to use one of those. Even if it might be tricky.

[xperpetualmotion]

It's not so tricky once someone explains what all the parts do :)

[ghostwritten87]

Yey, it is so freakin' cool that your school has a letterpress!

And I won't forget to be awesome this season, thanks to my new printsy desktop :D Thanks Karen!

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks Ruth :)

[SharkeyeJones]

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks Charlie :)

[crimsong19]

Fantastic, Karen!

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks!

[PaulSaysThings]

i dont think ive ever seen a letterpress before. that was pretty cool.

[xperpetualmotion]

Yeah, they're great machines.

[781228XX]

love your hair

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks!

[BarryAldridge]

Hooray for the cards in letterpress. Looked at the designs and they are great Karen.

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks Barry!

[colorsofinsanity]

That looks like a really really awesome place, and a lot of fun...

[xperpetualmotion]

Yup, it is a fun place!

[fizzylimon]

Hey I have one of those! And it's really cool! My mom said in a really cute, non-nerdfightery way "You should get that framed. That way, you'll always remember to be awesome."

[elffia]

I wish youtube had a like button.

[fizzylimon]

haha well there is the green thumbs-up button, but a reply is always better anyway!

[elffia]

I know, but then you don't see -who- thumbs-up-ed it, if that makes sense. A thumbs up is so impersonal! Then again, so is clicking "like," but to a lesser degree.

4TH COMMENT CONVERSATION AT ONCE!! CAN WE MAKE IT FIVE?

[kateribethrose]

lol that's funny.

[xperpetualmotion]

haha, at first I thought you meant you have a letterpress and I was really confused =P

[songsfrompaul]

Yay for Christmas cards!

Yay for letterpress!

(Boo for Harry Potter! :P)

[xperpetualmotion]

I'll let that one slide since I know you'll change your opinion once you read the books ;)
