Back by popular demand!

It was back to printing feminist posters again recently; they seem to have hit a mark with a few folk I know.

This is the wood type flipped for checking.


And a couple of letters that ended up needing to be replaced - a bit to worn and wrecked.  useful for another project no doubt, but not quite right here.


I must admit I am very fond of this one!  This is the first pull - not enough ink and not enough pressure.


Here it is working out better now - inking and pressure in synch.


Lovely!!!


And these two went for another run as well.


Feeling pretty feminist all over at the moment - we sure still need it.  For Australians who haven't yet seen it Brazen Hussies on ABC iView is a great look back at Australian feminists in the 70s and what they faced - brilliant, brazen women each and every one of them.

  1. love the way you set the type "by popular demand" ... can't believe we're still having to fight these battles though

    1. I thought the letters nested well together Liz and seemed in the spirit of the phrase; and yes, can you believe it? Still here fighting for justice and equality for women.

  3. F - totally agree with LA - can't believe in this modern era it is still necessary to be fighting for gender equality. B
