November's Popular Masking Tape Ranking♪

Hello!

If all goes well, I think we might be able to ship from this weekend to early next week,

but we haven't heard from the printing company yet, so I'm waiting anxiously.

Please wait a little longer for the shipping date notification.

And here is the November ranking for the Orata series (including adult Orata)!

1st place debut: Thin Ribbon

2nd place → Denim

3rd place ↗︎ Watercolor Masking Tape

4th place ↗︎ Tatting Lace

5th place ↘︎ Botanical Tag

That was the ranking. Thin Ribbon has really unique orders,

and I’m very excited to see how they will turn out.

Especially for those who own shops or sell handmade goods,

please make good and fun use of them!

The photo is a test print from the small letterpress machine the other day♪

Preparation took time, choosing paper and ink,

adjusting the text, and it took hours to print the perfect sheet (sweat).

I might try again when I have more time.

The system can do authentic letterpress printing by mixing ink with a roller,

but since cleaning and maintenance seemed troublesome,

for now I used stamp ink.

I was hoping to see how much indentation would be made on the paper,

but it didn’t indent as much as I expected.

Maybe the pressure isn’t applied evenly?

However, when printing with just one type block inserted, the pressure seems to concentrate on that point,

and it indents quite a bit.

It’s troublesome, but if you print one by one, it might indent nicely and look like reverse embossing♪

Using soft thick paper would be even better.

The font style is retro and very nice♪

It even included old kana characters like "ゐ" and "ゑ"!

The downside is that without ordering additional type blocks, it’s hard to print the desired text.

Also, besides the additional order fee, there is a handling charge, and using fixed amount postal money orders,

plus postage fees, makes the ordering process complicated.

That’s my impression so far!
