The new albums, journals, and cards are ready to show off…on Monday!
In the meantime, our hyacinth bulbs’ progress this week has been literally measurable! The tallest one is about 4 1/2″ this morning and, in total, 8 of the 10 we planted have poked their heads above soil!
Enjoy the weekend, and we’ll see you [...]
Our week has been full of preparing the new work to add to the shop and getting great photos taken of everything – this stage is always more time consuming than I’d like it to be, no matter how hard I try!
We’re going to try and be busy little bees today, and I’m definitely planning [...]
Our hyacinth bulbs this morning…no longer just bulbs, but shoots!
These are just the start of a lot more that’s coming around here this week!
This is a fascinating video showing the step by step process of making Japanese washi papers from kozo. The bulk of the decorative chiyogami papers I use are kozo papers and this justifies their incredible expense even further. In fact, after watching this, $16-$20 for a sheet of this paper – especially once intricately silkscreened [...]
New Japanese papers arrived yesterday and I woke up today excited to use them! I’ve seen so many chiyogami papers by now and I never cease to be amazed by their richness, color, and texture. Their elegance and playfulness is definitely what compels me to use them in so much of my work. This new [...]
The sun was actually out for a bit this morning and February – for possibly the first time ever – seems to be flying by!
Work table, stacked with prepped journals, albums, and paper…they’ll turn in to butterflies later today and tomorrow
Spring will be here before we know it and I’ve been working hard to add [...]
A quick note: My mom reminded me yesterday to make sure my blog incorporates work *and* life. To paraphrase: “Finding that blend of meaningful work and life is what we’re all after and that’s what people love hearing about.”
Lately, a lot of people have asked me how I’m managing to get *anything* done with [...]
Despite the grey and cold of February, we are nose-to-the-grindstone around here. In addition to putting together new albums, journals, and custom books, I am also gearing up promotional materials for the year and spreading the word about what we’re up to!
This is the new look book for our Chiyogami Letterpress Collection. It’s designed to [...]
Someone almost has birth announcements!
Please tell me there’s some sort of grace period when you print your own announcements. There are still photos to adhere, but I’m very happy with how those colors look! Really, she’s only (!) 4 months old…4 months isn’t *that* long, right?!?
Mixing ink
Lunchtime reading with Sophie
Like I said, we’ve really been [...]
(To see what in the world I’m talking about, here’s Part 1)
My dad is here this week and we’re (he’s) getting our apartment seriously organized and outfitted with much-needed shelving he’s built for us (although anyone can see he’s really made the trip to visit my 2 feet, 2 inches tall assistant!).
This year, [...]
