This weekend Jon has been busy printing another little letterpress print on the Adana. This one has a nice old block from an advert or catalogue with some rings (priced in shillings, so it must be old....).The quote is most famous for being in 'As You Like It', although the song probably predates Shakespeare (click on the picture to enlarge it if you need to).
Although this print is all about the joys of spring, it's definitely feeling autumnal here, the first conkers have fallen off the horse chestnut, the nights are drawing in and we've been foraging in the hedgerows. In our part of Norfolk the elderberries are ready, but the sloes aren't quite there yet - another week and we'll have to return to our top-secret favourite sloe picking hedgerow...

isn't it lovely to feel the change of season about to happen? i am excited for september and all that it brings...such a great month. Xx
I love this time of year - all the promise of open fires and warming stews to come!
It's great to see letterpress being used in the UK, wonder what all those people are doing with all the Adanas that have been bought off ebay? Love your work guys, I want to do linocuts soon but I've a long way to go before I get as good as you :)
