Prints made from typewriter parts

John sez, "I've been making using dismantled typewriter components. Each edition is made by sticking the sheet metal pieces to a magnetic plate then inking and printing like a woodblock."

Previously:

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

My daughter (age 5) has spent a lot of time lately with the book “Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type” by Doreen Cronin. She had been spending an hour or more a day looking at the book for four days in a row, before she finally asked me, “What’s a typewriter?” The best answer I was able to come up with was “It’s what your Grandmother used to write letters before Grandpa bought Mommy her first computer”.

Glad someone found a great use for them.

Those are really quite lovely. Truly one of those wish-I’d-thought-of-it ideas.
