This card is part of a series I've been working on in which I experiment with natural dyes on paper. In this case I used powdered Staghorn Sumac flowers, gently simmered. This is the April 2016 card.

This letterpress postcard was printed on Rising Stonehenge cardstock. First, I hand dyed the card, so each card will be slightly different. Then I used a combination of lead type and vintage cuts to print the card. The text refers to my dyeing process or information about the origin of the dye, presented in a fanciful manner. It was printed on a Chandler & Price clamshell press. This card is part of a signed and numbered edition of cards. Card measures 3.5" x 5.5" and comes to you in a protective plastic bag.

I have done the best I can to edit the photograph for true color, but please note the dyes change over time. Also, natural dyes can fade or darken when exposed to sunlight.

First three photos are by Morgan Donner.
