paperclip mail #3, april 16

i received the coolest thing the other day...

this is from mr. lothar trott of switzerland. the last two images show pages that are paperclipped together.

paperclips for printing

i teach letterpress and one of the techniques i teach is wire printing. basically you bend wire into the shape you want and use the wire as a surface for relief printing. one of my students, kim shigihara, used a heart shaped paperclip for her wire and it turned out awesome. plus she gave us all paperclips on the last day of class, which was also awesome.
