Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow [to make linoleum moveable type work]! #bookhistory #printinghistory #tinypress #pangolinpress

Well linoleum certainly works best so far with the tiny press! Since I had already done a potato plate for IU, I figured @IES_London and @WMLibraries/@williamandmary deserved their own plates. #pangolinpress

Experiment to create oil-based ink out of face oil and old eyeshadow was a bit of a bust. But a slightly sparkly bust! #pangolinpress

I added some wool and paper towel to the tympan to create a little bit more give between the plate and the paper, and voila! Look how much clearer the bottom left and right column are compared to the first two on the left! #pangolinpress
