How to level a platen… or, When to leave well enough alone. 8212; July 5, 2015 @ 12:34 pm. Craftsmen Monarch Platen Press. After a long sojourn, my Craftsmen Monarch press has finally come home. Years ago, when I first acquired the print shop from Otto Graser (a founding father of the Ottawa Press Gang), I was so excited at the prospect of using the Reprex cylinder press, I could see no reason why I would want to use a platen press. The prospect of setting type, locking it up and then. When I heard that ...

http://www.thecrankypress.ca/page/2

Letterpress that indulges your inner curmudgeon. Welcome to the Cranky Press. Is the hobby and the passion of its owner, Sue Globensky. (It can also be something of a love-hate relationship between a proprietor and her presses, but more on that elsewhere.) While the Press’s primary mandate is the entertainment of its proprietor, it serves also as a venue to learn, share and preserve knowledge of letterpress techniques. Just Off the Press. On printer’s blocks, bigotry and these modern times. June 27, 2016.

Folding, sewing and contemplating Les — and my press – The Cranky Press

http://www.thecrankypress.ca/2014/08/11/folding-sewing-and-contemplating-les-and-my-press

Letterpress that indulges your inner curmudgeon. Folding, sewing and contemplating Les — and my press. August 11, 2014. January 27, 2016. Still, it was a good opportunity to learn about spacing, alignment and registration. As I fold and stitch each pamphlet, I’m studying each printed page – looking at the evenness of the inking, leading and spacing, justification (one of my weaknesses, it seems). I’ve also learned that I should have someone else proofread my copy because clearly, I was blind when I...

With a few clicks of the numbering machines on my imposing stone, I was ready to print. William Savage, 1841),...

The Cranky Old Gnome | Because we aren't all sunshine and rainbows

The Cranky Old Gnome. Because we aren't all sunshine and rainbows. I’m Homestar Runner, and this is a website! March 27, 2014. Actually, no. I’m not Homestar Runner, and this is a blog. I just thought that would be a funny way to start things off. Plus, you know, common search terms on Google and all that. I was reminiscing about how much I enjoyed writing this blog when I started in…holy crap, 2009! 8220;[Insert clever sign off phrase here]”. May 12, 2012.

The Crankypants Rant

Wherein I rant. And wear my crankypants. Thursday, November 29, 2012. Queer Dollars - A Salvation Army Protest Action. I was at my local Fred Meyer the other evening, and passed a Salvation Army bell-ringer. I really wanted to yell at him (cuz I'm cranky like that) but realized it wouldn't do any good or have much impact. I'm also not really the kind of person to stop and have a political discussion with an ignorant but possibly well-meaning person (see above re: prone to crankiness). To name a few.

This was Maddie's 1st dance recital, and though she didn't do much dancing, she still looked cute with "mucho" attitude. Some of the kids danced, some of them ran off the stage, some of them cried, but no, not Maddie.she just stood there on stage with her hands on her hips with this look that was priceless! Maybe her Spring recital will be a different story :). Get dat bug momma!

The Cranky Quilter

Thursday, July 16, 2015. Coming Home to Quilting. It's been several years since I've posted on this blog. I planned to take a short hiatus to take care of some personal and professional business, but then as often happens life intervened and before I knew it the time I'd spent blogging and quilting ended up being gobbled up by other things. However, I have never loved any creative activity more than quilting, It's the whole package. I get to play with color and pattern, with the added bonus of dimens...
