Neat
YESTERDAY turned out to be a neat day for bookmaking. And cupcake baking. And project attempting. And other general mess-making.

The above book was made with a book making kit from Paper Source. I am so impressed with the idea that a little bookboard, a little glue and a little paper can go such a long way. I am always impressed when something I make looks like something I would pay for in a store. That is a GOOD feeling.

Sweet

TODAY turned out to be a sweet day for letterpressing. I went to my first class of three at Pyramid Atlantic and dude: It was cool. They have drawers full of fonts. And two large Vandercook presses. We are going to be typesetting anything we want and then running an edition of about sixteen. I might move in.

I might also run away and elope with paper. (And Paul can come too.)
