New shoots + new letterpress cards + a birthday

It may be winter outside but there’s hope for spring inside!

Charlotte’s not the only thing growing like crazy around here! These are the basil seeds and hyacinth bulbs we planted last week, already poking out over the top of the soil.

And these are a few of the new letterpress cards and pieces I’ve put together this week using the new chiyogami papers. I’ll have lots to show off next week, once I get the rest of the new work with the new papers photographed.

Last, but not least, today would have been my Grandmother Maggie’s 87th birthday. She died 14 years ago and I still miss her every day. I like to think that she would be very proud of the work I’m doing and the little girl we’re raising. I have lots more to say about her, but that’s for another time.
