		<description><![CDATA[Work on my Wazgoose submission has begun in earnest. After re-setting type for the first leaf, I spent a good part of the weekend in a state of perplexed make-ready. As I started to proof, I had noticed a strange ghosting streak of ink across my prints. It was annoyingly erratic in its appearances. I [...]]]></description>

After some sorting and reorganizing (I finally managed to sort some of the wood type!), I decided to print up a few of the blocks and fleurons that I&#8217;ve admired for years. &#160; One of my objectives was to test [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by the precision and beauty of the work produced by the Ottawa Press Gang, I decided to make another attempt on my season&#8217;s greetings. This time, I&#8217;m relying on the grumpy eloquence of Ebeneezer Scrooge, whose word-perfect sentiments match my own when it comes to decrying the mindless, noisy and greed-driven behaviour of most [...]]]></description>

The Ottawa Press Gang gathered this morning at Gaia Java Coffee Company in Stittsville to share stories and laughter, good conversation and excellent coffee.

		<description><![CDATA[Press work continues on a small scale, with seasonal greetings, courtesy of Ebeneezer Scrooge.  I am still learning the basics of  two-colour registration &#8211; and while I am generally pleased with the cover of the card, I was dismayed to see that the green ink had begun to clot. I suspect that this is due [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m starting with a small project intended to reacquaint me with the press and process.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I’ve finished printing my Wayzgoose contribution…and just in time! I just finished the covers for the 50 copies that are destined for the author and printer. They’re nestled, carefully interleaved with scrap paper, waiting for the ink to dry before I fold and compile them into their signatures. Though the submission deadline looms, I’m feeling that some [...]]]></description>
