Letterpress in Printmaking

Textures

From

Nature

Adding a simple texture as a background for a business card can turn something plain into something special. This particular business card was for a printmaking professor who wanted a natural texture that reflected their work. We used an image of a paper wasp nest debossed into heavy 100% cotton printmaking paper. Black type was letterpress printed on top of the texture completing the miniature work of art. The result was perfect for a fellow printmaker.
