[Update] Handmade Printmaking / 2018 Year of the Dog Card

This is a one-of-a-kind printmaking card, From drawing the pattern, transferring, carving four plates, mixing inks, to printing with a roller, everything is meticulously crafted and produced by hand. The printing pressure needed for each material, the technique required for aligning the plates each time... Each printing detail is filled with uncertainties, necessitating constant experimentation and learning from experience. Creating a near-perfect print is almost always the result of luck, time, patience, and honed skill! But that's precisely what makes handmade cards so precious, making them worthy of gifting to someone special you hold dear. Of course, it's also perfect for sending to someone you wish to congratulate in the Year of the Dog in 2018. In addition to the fully handmade printed card, the paper sandwiched in the middle is also carefully handcrafted recycled paper. **Handmade paper**, a type of handmade recycled paper, each sheet varies in thickness, texture, and resilience due to the natural materials included. Much like printmaking, it's an art form full of the beauty of the unknown. However, handmade paper may sometimes be unsuitable for writing on, but it serves as a beautifully decorative accent. https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3848/32336397243_e402f6a434_z.jpg Ink printing in progress (ink roller in the background) https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/632/33151626685_d61eca48ed_z.jpg A fusion of printmaking envelopes and washi tape https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3848/32336397073_66afc3558f_z.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2950/33110373176_aa08262dbf_z.jpg Printmaking envelopes (discontinued) As handmade items, minor beautiful imperfections may arise during the creation process.
