 This past week I finished printing my pochoir and letterpress broadside. The quote is “What’s important in life is not the triumph but the struggle.” The background grid is hand stenciled with a color palette of greens and blues and the text is printed letterpress in blue/white.This is an edition of 14.

This is what it looked like before I letterpress printed the words on top of the stenciled grid. There are 49 rectangles (a grid of 7×7) and each color is repeated 2 or 3 times. |

Here’s the jig I ended up using to do the pochoir. The base is 1/4″ thick wood and I used 2 clevis pins to do the pin registration of the stencil and paper. The photo shows a page that has 5 colors already applied, with the 6th color stencil on top, ready for paint. You can find out more about pochoir and making the jig for stenciling here

This uses the MOST fabulous colours! Brilliant. Love it.
It’s arrived! – and is every bit as gorgeous as looks here. Thanks very much, I’m really pleased with it. Juliet
