First Lockup

Pictures of my first lockup below.  I'm trying to do a simple prop card so I can register with Briar Press.  Finished too late to actually ink and run - it took 90 minutes just to get this far.  But I enjoyed it.

The prop card just contains my name, press name, address, type of press and a silly motto and cut that I stuck in there for fun.  I only have 4 cuts so not much to choose from.  I didn't have enough small spacers or furniture (or I couldn't figure out how to set it up with what I have) so I cheated and used some of the type to make up the difference around the cut.

Also I mistakenly ordered spacers for 12 point and my typeface is 24 point.  Whoops.
