My type setting on the tarot cards is coming along nicely. I think I might get the tarot cards done by the Printer's Fair!
One thing I've noticed is that I set type with my left hand faster than I do with my right hand. I used to be right handed, but since my stroke I've become more and more left handed. I've always been somewhat ambidextrous, but now I'm even more so. I eat with my left hand now; I write with my right hand. It's very strange.
I think with setting type, the link between my brain and my hand is stronger with my left hand. You have to visualize where the letters are when you're setting type. And I think my right brain has the typecase memorized (or at least almost), while my left brain doesn't. Or maybe it's the links in the brain. In any case, I realized this late in the process for the tarot cards, but now that I've realized it, I'm setting type faster, which is making the project go faster.
It's very weird. It's been a strange process figuring out how my body works now that I've had the stroke.
