Delightful handmade letterpress print
Me Made·Made by hand, by a humanDon’t want to buy it? This piece is open for trade too — swapping happens in the app.
My partner and I create letterpress prints under the name Snakebird Press. This print was made on a 1947 Vandercook 219 Proof Press using a combination of vintage type and woodcut block. This print features a line from Jack Gilbert's poem "A Brief for the Defense." A bit of hope and a reminder that experiencing delight is vital. "We must risk delight." Size is 4" x 6" Each print is unique. If you prefer one with more pink or more yellow, just let me know. I'm also happy to share pics of the prints if you'd like to choose a specific one!
“Having fun experimenting with the pink and yellow ink combos!”
