If there's time, I'd like to print some calling cards. I have a decent-size pile of light blue Magnani Pescia, and I'd certainly like to use the platen presses, which are lovely old cast-iron Industrial Revolution pieces. One is a Chandler and Price Old Style, with curved spokes on the flywheel, and the other is a Pearl with fabulous red pinstripes on the black paint.
On the other hand, October was a big letterpress casualty already. I don't regret that one bit—this has been the most amazingly mind-expanding and horizon-broadening thing—but I really really need to take care of some other things. Like college applications for instance. So I don't know. Perhaps I'll see if I can just do something not-too-complex in class time.
