Another Invite Design Project Part 2
I've now printed over a hundred of the champagne colour, with cards decorating almost every flat surface on the ground floor (including a few that didn't exist until now).
The first batch still aren't dry (no big surprise), though they did change colour slightly in a way that will worry me if it continues. Basically the ink became less visible and solid. Not totally sure why, though at a guess it has something to do with the very weird paper I'm using. We'll see what happens when the brown goes on top.
While I was printing, teki's roommates both wandered by (at different points) and became interested in what I was doing, asking me questions and listening to my sometimes longwinded explanations. Truly, printmaking is awesome enough to overcome even the social awkwardness that plagues physics grad students.
Printmaking=win.
Also, using vegetable oil to clean up instead of solvents= less smelly win.
