Fishy Paper Square #6: The Fox
For Fishy Paper Square #6 we asked our friends Daley and Lizzy to come up with a design using a printing method we haven’t used yet (we’d done two illustrated booklets, a Christmas postcard, a letterpress lyrics card and a comic). Lizzy suggested monoprinting, and came up with the fox design inspired by Juju’s words.
It’s called monoprinting because you can only make one original copy of a print (with the letterpress printed Wonderful Paper Square we got Nick to make us 400 “originals”). You’ll see why when you watch the video. We really liked the idea, because it means that every Paper Clubber gets a completely unique print. There are some with an eye missing, a few that look really evil and Daley even did one with a hat (but I think we took that out).
Anyway, here’s how we did it:
The Paper Club has come along way since we first came up with the idea in May 2010, but we’re only just warming up. We enjoy sending them more than ever, and it’s great to know that the Paper Squares are landing on doormats around the world.

PS. If you have a Tumblr account, you should be able to “photo reply” to this post with a picture of you and your unique fox. If you don’t, you can post it to Twitter or Facebook and we’ll find that too…
