Subject: Mystique Series #15 : printing begins
Posted by: Dave Bull

After more delays and interruptions than I can believe have happened over the past couple of weeks, printing of Mystique #15 is finally under way!

And under way with a difference ... Look at this!

Yes ... I'm printing the key block in oil-based ink. (I had the webcam set to 'record' during a half-hour or so of the session, and the video can be seen on the Ustream website here. I kept up a little bit of a running commentary as I worked ... explaining what was going on.)

Using inks rather than water-based pigment for the keyblock was very common back in the Meiji era. At that time, publishers were experimenting with all manner of printing methods, searching for ways to fit the new press technologies into their work flows. A great many prints (most of the kuchi-e for example) were done this way - with metal key blocks and normal cherry wood colour blocks.

The print that I am reproducing this time was originally done that way, so this is a good opportunity for me to learn how to do it.

Subject: A clever cat walks the Australian skyline at night...
Posted by: Maria

You never know what's outside at night, maybe a cat roaming around the city skyline from John Ryrie in Yarraville, Victoria AUSTRALIA
Gotta love the choice of newspaper!


That concludes this happy batch of arrivals.

Don't forget (yes again, sigh) to fill out the colophon information, very important for the final publication. Here is the page:

Very soon I will start placing these blocks in their proper locations and begin constructing the the Great City. Until the next!
