A small selection of printing blocks that we have hanging in an original frame used to hold original type lettering. We've acquired the blocks over a number of years, purchasing them in antique fairs & other shops as we've seen those that we like. My favourites are the Penguin book logo and the HMV (master & his voice) logo (not shown).
Hope you all had a Happy New Year. I'm off to work now.....

This is my entry for the Rebrick "Modular Buildings Anniversary Contest".

"LEGO has included many printed tiles&decorations in their sets in the past. These tiles represent money, pictures, newspapers, etc. But where do they come from? Of course, from the printing office. There isn't a single printing office in LEGO City or in the Modular Buildings line, so I've decided to build one. There is a printing machine, drawer, table, and some shelves in it. I've included it in the first floor of the Brick Bank, because there is a huge open space which I think is too empty."
Larry is an exquisitely charming dachschund who works at a local printing/shipping shop. He has one blue eye and one brown eye. Larry apparently did not go to the guide dog spa day which was held locally yesterday. Larry must have missed that memo (as did I). But he is indeed a beauty and well worth the visit if one is in the area.

The Kutch/Kachchh area of Gujarat is not heavily-frequented by foreign tourists, although popular as a handicraft-shopping destination with Indian tourists. Each village tends to specialize in a type of craft, with Ajrakhpur especially known for detailed block-printing. It's not the kind of place that offers courses on how to produce beautiful crafts yourself.
So if you want to learn, you:
a) beg the owner, possibly throwing in some of your arts/crafts background as proof you won't be in the way and
b) show up the next day and insist you were serious then
c) just pick some blocks from their massive library and get started, badly, because there isn't really any "teaching" going on in the strictest sense.
At 13 meters high and weighing 90 tons, the S-Printing Horse in Heidelberg is one of the largest horse sculptures in the world.
A copper printing block that I found today, it looks like it has got damp at some point and someone has cleaned it up. Hard to hand burnish as it is 2cm x 10cm, and I tend to either smudge it on thick or tear the thinner paper. Oh for a small hand printing press!
Contact printing frames can be bought pre-made (top). Or simple ones (below) can be put together inexpensively using cheap wooden photo frames, scrap pieces of hobby wood, stainless steel bolts, washers, and wingnuts.
If you use photo frames, be careful with the sharp edges of the plate glass, and don't put too much pressure on them or they will crack (been there, done that!). Covering the glass edges with photo tape, or replacing the thin/cheap glass with clear acrylic might be a good idea.
