		<title>Final Project for Letterpress Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went back to school this last quarter (graduated college in 1984). Enrolled in GID 92: Letterpress Printing at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, CA. The best thing to do if you think you want to explore letterpress printing is to find a class or a group. The class was great! I met good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holiday Card 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been itching to really do more than run a few test prints with scraps of this or that. The testing is over. I had a day off from work and was ready to slap some Red and Green ink on our first letterpress Christmas card. Merry Christmas. Or should I say Glaedelig Jul, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firing up the press</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After Thanks Giving I  decided to take the press out for a spin. While the mall were packed on Black Friday I stayed home and played. I had just tapped up the roller rails and was itching to try to print something. I had a linoleum block of a Robot I had carved prior to [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Chandler and Price Letterpress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everything is falling into place. This weekend we move the 10 x 15 C&#38;P press and paper cutter into the garage. I got a great deal on it, one I couldn&#8217;t pass on. Still have a few more items to acquire before I&#8217;m up and running. The press could use a little cleaning, but that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Day of Letterpress Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Started back to school. I&#8217;m taking GID-92 Letterpress Printing at Foothill College. For me the first day was awesome! We even had a chance to lock up some old wood type in a chase and print on an Old Reliable press. I wanted to keep the design simple so I made &#8220;A Rocket&#8221;. Tomorrow I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mystery Wood Font</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I haven&#8217;t really spent any time trying to identify these letterpress wood fonts. I just picked them up last weekend. It is always cool to see the wear and tear of a well used old wood font. Guess that&#8217;s what gives it character, couldn&#8217;t resist the pun.]]></description>

		<title>My New Hamilton Font Case</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a proud new owner of an old Hamilton Manufacturing Font Case. The drawers are sectioned in two, not California Job Cases. For me this is a good thing, because I hope to fill it with wood display type. This is a must have for any little print studio. Now I just need to get [...]]]></description>

		<title>An idea for a future letterpress poster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always like Hatch Show Prints, &#8220;Triple Johnny Poster.&#8221; Multiple impressions of a letterpress halftone of Johnny Cash just works. I know I can create something in Photoshop, but it&#8217;s just not the same. But for now it&#8217;s all I have. So I found a 1928 newspaper image of my Grandfather and I&#8217;ll use it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Textures happen in the craziest places</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This texture was found in the kitchen. When I saw it I said, &#8220;I need to scan that.&#8221; My wife exclaimed, &#8220;You&#8217;re kidding me.&#8221; She knew I wasn&#8217;t. I love textures, and I&#8217;m always looking for examples to use in my designs. It&#8217;s not everyday I get to use rough organic textures in my work. [...]]]></description>
