yeah, i found a buncha old leadtype atta antiquie store a ways back, didn't getta full set of one font tho, they hadda old letterbox jumbled w/ misc. bits.
the leadtype doesn't work as well as rubberstamps for regular use, ya gotta really press down hard to getta good impression -- i'd still like to finda (locally, those leadtypes are too heavy to ship affordably) full set & make a homemade press, it'd be fun -- but that's just daydreaming anyways.
it really took some skill for the artisans to cut leadtype way back when, but maybe i'm thinking i should scruff 'em up a bit, mangle 'em etc. to get some texture?
good idea w/ the shoes, it'd be cool to have some self-inking soles to stomp around sidewalks or up the side of a wall -- when i was little & walking home down the sidewalk, there were big shoe-prints in the concrete of the sidewalk, i had to stretch to land in each shoe, mercuryfeets.

seems allright as it is, but you should do that to a small number of them,not all of them
yep, i'll scrubbup a couple of 'em & see if it's worthwhile.
If you could attach them to the bottoms of shoes, and then get a long roll of newsprint...there's some conceptual possibility in there
