And now for the math.
I was hoping I could avoid doing math by designing everything on the computer (unpack that statement, and tell me why I giggled a little in my head as I typed it), but no. Yep. There’s math in printing. (I … Continue reading
Changes in planning.
There are more than a hundred accented sorts in a font of Greek. I looked up the lay of the case. It’s alarming. My foot is a fetching shade of green. This is sort of printing related; I dropped a … Continue reading
Miscellany
The trip springs are fine. My font of ATF 6pt Goudy Oldstyle lowercase has pilchrows. (I need more of this font – it’s adorable, and if I get an uppercase I have roman & bold and can actually set pages. … Continue reading
Something like making progress

Burgundy? Red. RED!
This week, apparently, I’m taking pictures of things for color… And I do love these bright red tiles. Maybe I’m subconsciously preparing for the sewing project I want to work on next. Hard to tell. Sometimes the only solution to … Continue reading
Some things that were pretty cool about today:
This turned out better than I hoped it would. I read an extremely satisfying book which I got unexpectedly because somebody had an extra galley. A friend of mine randomly showed up just as I was about to give up … Continue reading
