That marbled paper (is that the right term?) is absolutely gorgeous. If I ever create something short and worthy of you, I’m hiring you to do a print run.

It’s … changed. Some things definitely for the better. I’m still not convinced about some of the “new” buildings. (Come visit Boston! We can take a day-trip!)

woodruff key (why is it called that anyway?) From wikipedia:

This type of key was developed by W.N. Woodruff of Connecticut, who was presented in 1888 with the John Scott Medal by the Franklin Institute for the invention.

Ah, tasty sorrow-pulp.

Excellent phrase “Mindlessly cheerful entertainments of insanity”. It’s so…precise. One wonders why (O why) it’s not a category one can browse on Netflix.

I haven’t dampened my paper before printing anything but etchings, but I definitely printed with too much pressure the other day on my Poco. Expletives ensued. I was using my only set of woodtype and was super freaked that I smashed it… I’ll find out soon I guess :/

But they do look awesome from the front (yours not mine)

Oh. Yeah. I definitely want to read that paper. Since material culture (specifically embroidery/tapestry/textile art) was kind of my Thing For A While.

It took an academic reading of Mansfield Park for me to enjoy it (and I generally like those kinds of things.) It’s my least favorite Austen. If you dig in, though, there’s some interesting buried things in there about slavery. And I like to think I wrote a pretty good article using MF and some other concurrent works using material culture (namely, fancy sewing) to (further) point out the objectification of upper/middle class women of the time. (You can read the paper, if you like. The professor for whom I wrote it actually encouraged me to try to publish it, but it’s not my field so I worried.)

I know that’s not actually the point of your post– which I quite enjoyed– but I thought I’d share.
