Michelle Wiebe @michellewiebe.bsky.social · 19/12/2025How nice of a print can you get from a Kelsey 6 x 10? This is what I got on my first try of making a 5 layer reduction linocut.

Reposted by Michelle WiebeMerriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 10/10/2025Printing presses kept their letters in cases. Capital letters went in the upper case. Smaller letters went in the lower case. This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’ Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press? MAJUSCULE and minuscule. 562058455
