Christa Carleton @printerpal.bsky.social · 12/09/2025It’s true there are risks, but generally if I wash my hands and don’t eat or drink while handling the type it lowers the risk significantly. Now a type caster working w/ molten type fumes—I’m not so sure! 100
Christa Carleton @printerpal.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Often referred to as “lead type,” it is really an alloy of 54-86% lead, 11-28% antimony & 3-18% tin. Antimony hardens the metal. Tin toughens the metal, counteracting the brittleness of antimony➡️ But what’s on my hands is dust & dirt accumulation b/c the drawers were stored unused & outside 4 some ⏰ 110

Christa Carleton @printerpal.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Anyone got any good #podcast recommendations that aren’t super newsy/current events? (I listen to plenty of those already) I really despise banter/interview styles and prefer a sweeping story told. I sincerely miss podcasts like The Truth and Heavyweight and I love Criminal and This is Love. Help! 500

Christa Carleton @printerpal.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Started carving! No rhyme or reason to which sections I tackle with my gouges — but I do tend to leave the hair for last since it’s arduous. I just started the #FourthWing series. It should keep me entertained to get this block carved ASAP. #woodcut #printmaking #artjail #artwip 0170
