One of my cousins is getting married!  We’ve sent him and his soon-to-be wife some art for their new home, a letterpress print I made way back in 2006.  It features a this quote from William Saroyan:

Mostly, this [...]

Laura over at The Suburban Pen Pal is running a paper swap this spring!  The theme is school, you’ve got until March 31 to sign up, and until April 30 to mail your sets of 3-5 things to 5 people.  Then, you get 5 things yourself!  Delightful.  This will actually be the first proper swap [...]

Sewing twigs to paper is hard tedious.  But they do like nice, don’t they?
