Excuse me, but is that the sun out there? And blue sky? Could someone please remind me how I’m supposed to behave?

Our fire escape Morning Glories

And…let the work begin! I just got my new plate order from Boxcar and it’s an exciting one! Good thing, because I really loaded the plates up this time and put in a huge order and, until I actually get them, there’s always a little nervousness that something might not be quite right. They look great, though – just check out that octopus!

When I first open up plates, I’ll often throw a couple on the press and just run blind (no-ink) impressions to see how the lines translate – especially when I’ve converted drawings of mine in to plates.

There are lots of other little creatures that were part of this order, too, but you’ll just have to be patient. Well, you won’t have to be too patient because (between wedding invitations), I’ll be printing an awful lot over the next few days and will have lots of new things to check out in their finished states soon!

And now…off to pick up our latest CSA share and work my shift!
