Lately in bookbinding: a new book made from recent scraps, from test screen prints to leftover watercolor paper. A little book looking for its artist.

Lately, in combining screen printing and book binding…

No longer intimidated by the coptic stitch.

Vermont is for wanderers.

I wish this were a rooster instead of a hen. For all the reasons an egg-eating, chicken-loving woman of 2025 would.

Pretty sure the Migrations blurb is accurate, too, but by Charlotte McConaghy. Mirrors the twisted results from most AI answers to my simple internet searches these days.

Thanks, MKE.

Preparing covers for two cased in kettle stitched books.

Three screen printed cased in double pamphlets.

4 stages of opening a lotus book screen printed with a fractal pattern that resembles a sage green dragon.

Got my kettle stitch on lock and learning to make all the books.

P.S. Unlike butterflies, moths rest with their wings open.

When you pick up your veggie patch, move it into the front yard, and are halfway finished, it might look like this.

Wowza! I’m captivated.

an extraordinary place

#magic for #printpromptmonday

Seven year old me already knew how to find crafty ways to get to the inner life. Self portrait screen print, 5 layers in 1970s color palette.

P.S. We all need more mac and cheese clouds.

Check out Foto for a gorgeous Insta replacement.

From what I can see from my speck in this universe, photographers seem to be flocking to Foto, which is IMHO downright gorgeous.

Here’s what became of my #inprogress moth for #printpromptmonday

Now stanning #flagbooks and intersections of #screenprinting and #artistbooks

It’s expensive to fire and (re)hire one person, let alone thousands. Has anyone crunched any numbers on how much has been spent quickly patching up the human resource wreckage of DOGE’s chainsaw?

Three test screen prints of a moth in ochre, sage, vermillion, and royal blue, scattered about table top.

Three inks in sage, vermillion, and royal blue overlapping on acetate used to register layers of screen print project.

Four layers of moth project shown in high contrast black and white.

My grandma as a tween, wearing snorkel gear and encountering a giant squid in multiple hues, testing her assumptions of magnificence.

(not) magnificent, 2024. 5 layer screen print channeling a giant squid, my grandma as a tween, and apt #boniver lyrics. humbly submitted for “water” week of #printpromptmonday

Pax (and sequel) by Sara Pennypacker and the dozens of Warriors and adjacent series have been as well loved here as Wild Robot books.

new adventures in #bookbinding

old maps, book pages, wall paper, bookcloth scraps. and some of my #screenprints

all the papery ephemera saved for who knew what

I was wondering where you disappeared to. I see you’re operating in a different layer of the multiverse.

Same. Happy World Book Day.

Last week, I was coating a well loved screen and it ripped mid-coat. Emulsion went flying. Screen printers rites of passage. 😊

Not my most eloquent letter, but utterly sincere....

Two paws up for FLOW from Chester. #catsofbluesky

Flow had us and Chester as transfixed as Taco.

Stating the obvious. Again. What action steps will you take? Please go consult with AOC.

Oh, do I have a story to tell. Local crones, come listen!

This mattered when it was the worst thing going on. A month later, what IS law but an executive order? This is so down the line of what is vital right now. Read the room. Get anticipatory. Muck up the cogs 47 turns so easily. You’re losing us.
