Potato printing

For this week’s task, I decided to try out potato printing. However, in the spirit of ‘manual scripts’,  I wanted to handwrite all of my notes. After some thought, I decided to try something I’ve never tried before – handwriting on an iPad. It’s similar to writing notes by hand, but has the added perk of easily erasing mistakes and the added challenge of not seeing my word count.

Was there something particularly challenging in the process?

How much time did it take for you to create the stamps?

Have you noticed anything particular about the letters that you have chosen to reproduce?

Considering the time and effort that took you to create a 5-letter word, how do you feel about the mechanization of writing?
