Essentially this was another APA project although we printed some extras to mail to friends.

The APA is a group limited to 150 members and each member must print 150 copies of something (some people go to a lot of trouble and others go to a lot less) which is sent to the ‘mailer’ who distributes all of the submissions into packages and mails them to each member. So in practice there are 150 members x 4 projects divided by 12 months which means that every month you get an average of 50 printing samples.We’ve been playing with the idea of doing a set of pieces that only concern the use of color. The image we’ve chosen to use is is a photograph of us from a letterpress workshop we did in Oxford, England in 2004 which uses a large halftone screen.

In this instance we made it a Halloween card so we printed black on orange paper. The inside of the card says “May the black arts be good to you on this All Hallows Eve.”

This is a one inch square from Jill’s eye showing the halftone.
