This week went by so fast! My departure date for Journalfest in Port Townsend, Washington is less than one week away. The anticipation is overwhelming! I will be stitching and painting and drawing and cutting for three solid days with three awesome teachers. I made a huge amount of paper with the palmetto/cotton pulp Susanne…

My class this semester will be on Tuesday nights: “Intro to Archival Management.” It is a crosslisted class between…

But Will It Make You Happy? On the bright side, the practices that consumers have adopted in response to the economic crisis ultimately could — as a raft of new research suggests — make them happier. New studies of consumption and happiness show, for instance, that people are happier when they spend money on experiences…

Ah, a sweet comment from Albie Smith. What a wonderful way to start a Saturday. So many things have happened this week. After I posted on Sunday, I messed around with my woodcuts and used my printing register for the first time. The two new proofs (Jake and a Spannocchia scene) were not to my…
