Adams Morgan Day this Sunday
Adams Morgan Day is this Sunday, September 9, 2012 and I’ll have a booth at Arts on Belmont (Belmont St. between 18th St. and Columbia Rd. NW in Washington, DC) with Julia of Orange Tabby Press and Melanie from Grey Moggie Press. 10am-7pm. See you there!
We exult in what we master and discover
I just learned that Anaïs Nin printed Winter of Artifice herself. From Volume 3 of her diary:
The relationship to handcraft is a beautiful one. You are related bodily to a solid block of metal letters, to the weight of the trays, to the adroitness of spacing, to the tempo and temper of the machine. You [...]

Present Day at Pleasant Plains Workshop is still packed with great gifts made by local artists. I popped in yesterday and saw everything from tea towels to jewelry, plus tons of prints. Stop in this weekend or come to the closing party Tuesday!

Present Day at Pleasant Plains Workshop
Present Day, the holiday shop at my friend Kristina’s Pleasant Plains Workshop in DC, opened last weekend. I stopped by post-brunch to check it out and the place was packed with shoppers and with fun gift options, like tote bags, prints, shirts, jewelry, locally printed magazines and more.
Some mermaids were hangin’ out.
Shop for locally made [...]
Handwriting
Have you read Ann Wroe’s excellent elegy to handwriting?
[F]or all the talk of fluency, balance, harmony and beauty in handwriting—for all the distrust of serifs, curlicues and fussiness in it—it is distinctiveness that we treasure it for: the degree to which it falls away from the copybook, and becomes part of ourselves.
Strangely, it becomes increasingly [...]
what I’ve been up to, part one
Just some little personal projects.
Rebound my aunt’s Companion to the Breviary the other day. It was getting a little raggedy so I added this purple cover.
The sewing of a simple book is so pleasurable.
