A whole new year of birds! I can never choose just one bird to paint, so I do 12 each year. The Cedar Waxwing might be my favorite this year.

LIMITED EDITION! We have brought back an old favorite, the vintage 3D DIY station wagon card. And this time we’ve added a yuletide / xmas tree to go on top. These cards are great gifts that become a Christmas tree ornament or a novelty wagon to sit on your mantle.

In January, 2025, the Executive Board of Hamilton Wood Type Museum assumed direct control of day-to-day operations, an extraordinary overreach for a governing board.
