- Miami Garden Letterpress Wedding Invitation
Ahhh… Just thinking about a Miami wedding in January warms things up.
Since the wedding will take place in a garden and the bride and groom wanted “something Miami without being cliché” I decided to go with metaphors rather than use images of flowers or the obvious palm trees and art deco buildings.
The gates of the [...]
- Finally, New Rollers for the Table top Press
It has taken me nearly 8 months to get around to getting new rollers for the American Equipment Printing Company 6-1/2 x 10 table top press. Even more, it took 4 months to even know I needed new rollers!
Sigh.
With Lynn Russell’s gentle push and encouragement, I finally sent one of my rollers and a truck [...]
- Cuts and Type at the University of Montana, Missoula
We’re back from a road trip to Missoula, Montana where we checked out the University of Montana with my stepson who expressed interest in the college and has been heavily weighing options about career paths.
Journalism is a possible career path and turns out the University of Montana just completed building the new School of Journalism. [...]
- Goodies from Satsuma Press at Crafty Wonderland
I finally met Lynn Russell of Satsuma Press in the flesh yesterday at The Doug Fir.
We had a meeting scheduled last week and I had a serious case of food poisoning so it wasn’t possible and instead I decided to check out Crafty Wonderland to meet her. I also had a hankering for the burgers [...]

- Marika and Ben’s Wedding Invitation
As a gift, I offered to design a dear friend’s wedding invitations and here it is:
Two details:
Marika’s choice of colors — eggplant ink and chartreuse envelopes — complemented each other nicely. I was excited because I was finally able to use one of my favorite typefaces: Centaur. I just love the swash capitals.
I’m looking forward [...]
- Print Arts Northwest - “The Printed Page” exhibit
Though it’s been an incredibly long and busy week I found time to get out with some friends to check out a book arts exhibit at Print Arts Northwest last night titled, “The Printed Page”. I found out about the exhibit through the NW Book Arts List which is a fantastic listserv for all things [...]
- Letterpress class at Windowpane Press
First I have to apologize for not having more than the following images of my weekend workshop at Windowpane Press with Bonnie Thompson Norman in Seattle. I remembered to take my happy snap camera and forgot to bring the battery charger(!). I still can’t believe I had such a brain fart. I was so annoyed [...]
- Printmaking class at Multnomah Arts Center
I’m struggling to write as I try and shovel as much popcorn into my mouth because I’m so hungry after talking about food during my first printmaking class! (A few words, more popcorn.) And, how lucky am I to come in through the door and have popcorn waiting for me on the kitchen counter! I’ve [...]
