Letterpress: Hand-Coloured Cards in Progress

Here's what I'll be spending my long weekend on:


All of these cards--just under 30 of each--need hand-colouring before I can crop, fold and package them.





 Don't worry, though, I'm not going to be spending hours on each one. Just a couple quick washes of watercolour, or else I'd have to charge so much no one would buy them.




I letterpress printed them on good-quality watercolour paper and left the paper a bit big so I'd have room to paint.




You may recognize the images from this year's calendar Tentacle & Carapace. I figured I aleady had the plates, so I might as well use them.


And living in a coastal city, sea things are popular year-round.
