Wood Type
My experience at MCBA thus far has been nothing short of wonderful! I am really beginning to feel at home in the studios there and everyone has been so helpful. I am settling into my project - although the details remain open. Today I am making silver prints which will eventually turn into my gravures for the exhibit. With all that I plan to do, November does not feel so far away...
most days
I suppose I use more than my share of paper. My work is on paper, my journals and my ongoing lists upon lists. It is how I organize my mind, how I make my thoughts tidy. I can't imagine a day without a bit of paper.

Merry Christmas from Enok! We took a somewhat alternate route home and found Enok.
MCBA papermaking studio
Looks tidy now... but my fellow MCBA/Jerome mates and myself made a great mess of the place last week. We were introduced to the art of papermaking. I will post the results of this endeavor at a later date, or not.
contract
I am delighted to announce that I am one of six recipients of the Minnesota Center For Book Arts/Jerome Foundation Mentorship Series V Program. I feel very fortunate to live in a state that values the arts and where opportunities like this exist.

Incidentally beautiful. A mixture of suds and photo emulsion.

big press/tiny plate
You may need to strain your eyes a bit to see it, but it is there, a tiny 3.5 inch plate being swallowed up by that huge press bed. I am working on "Flight" - the themed image for Open Edition's print exchange. My edition is being printed on Mulberry with Creamy French black ink, of course.
