'Snowflake' Poster

Reconnected with old friends this week, a pair of pinking shears. It’s funny how no other, more sophisticated framing device would do on this year’s Christmas poster. People must have been a good deal tougher in olden days though, these are like a compete workout for the adductor pollicis (a muscle between thumb & forefinger. I just looked it up).

Intended primarily for architectural plans, these A0 photocopied posters prove quite pricy, but I’m pleased with the halftone effect and it’s definitely refreshing to have a machine do the printing/folding for once. While I sit on my gluteus maximus.
