I have a love / hate relationship with oxalis.
But the root/ bulb structure is genius and beautiful

A lil recap from our book making workshop at @richmondartcenter. There's so much joy in teaching people who, some of them, had never sewn a book before. We absolutely crushed it! I hope you all feel proud of pushing past your comfort zones.

Just a snippet of student work from our last session of printmaking. I’ve neglected sharing all the incredible work they did this term for reasons only I know 🫠. But this was a very sweet and funny group of folks.

Outgoing order for longtime client and friend. An international traveler who comes bearing gifts. 😀

Typically I sew these little booklets on my old Singer 401 but it needs a day or two at the shop fix the timing and tension.

Nice! Makes me happily remember this lil beauty I stumbled across a few months ago on a hike. I’ve never seen such a storybook mushroom in real life before.

I’m estimating it’ll be another hour before that last little spot in the center gets coverage.
Not even asking why anymore 🫠😩

It’s a tattlephone for adults. Be creative.

I'm on my way out with a stack of mordant-ed papers, a tub of methyl cellulose slime, and some hopes and dreams. If all goes according to plan, me and my pal will have zero problems creating marbled paper. Zero. Because all the Tiktoks and YouTube videos have assured me that it's just super simple.

A little study from a tutorial from Ogygia Art. I’m not skilled at perspective or lighting but love practicing.

Trying to record a video felt like the most annoying-est, awkward-est task. Everrrrrrrr. Pls enjoy my attempts!

I’ve had a huge creative block for months now and the only activity that helps is painting. I’m not a trained fine artist. Much more of a craftsperson ( book binding and letterpress ). But lately I’ve been following tutorials online , copying other people’s work to learn specific skills. Very fun.

Nothing to see here except the fact I finally figured out how to pan across a photo on CapCut.
But this view was incredible. Last Tuesday’s rainstorms made a beautiful sunset.
