Here’s how I would respond if people would ask me to tell them that I’m in my 30’s without telling them that I’m in my 30’s:

My plan was to find some quiet nook at the family reunion and just write some while we waited the last hour for midnight, but instead I drew on these cute wood ornaments my cousin brought.

Most people in my group drew two each. I drew six. I probably shouldn't have had that coffee.

Happy New Year!

I've been pretty productive this year actually, and I love it. 'v' The ones that are black have detailing with my gold/silver leaf pens. They're nice and shiny!

To close the year up my favorite project I have worked on this year:  a wood burning  on my new hurdy gurdy, hopefully I will have lots of time in the new year practice playing it

Typography Tuesday

This week we present some type and wood-engraved initials from an edition of Alfred Lord Tennyson's Lyric Poems by the Vale Press, printed in London at the Ballantyne Press in an edition of 320 copies in 1900. British artist, illustrator, printer, and book and type designer Charles Ricketts (1866-1931) founded the Vale Press in 1896 and designed three typefaces for the press. The most commonly used typeface was Vale Type, which is used here. Ricketts also used over 100 ornamental initials which he designed and engraved, several of which are shown here. To make the initials, Ricketts would draw the designs in ink, and then would paste a number of designs onto a single sheet. These were then photographed onto a woodblock, engraved by Ricketts, and finally separated when they were electrotyped.

The Art Nouveau-style border design in the first image was designed by Ricketts and engraved in wood by Charles Edward Keats, who began working for Ricketts in 1899. As Ricketts did not own the requisite printing equipment for his enterprise, he established a relationship with the venerable Edinburgh-founded Ballantyne Press, and this edition was printed by Charles John Holmes, who worked for Ballantyne and became the manager for Vale.

This copy of Lyric Poems is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

Plant of the Day

Saturday 30 December 2023

The distinctive flattened flowerheads of Chasmanthium latifolium (fish-on-a-fishing-pole, northern wood-oats, inland sea oats, northern sea oats, river oats, spangle grass) which dry remaining green with shades of bronze and purple tints. This grass is ideal for shade and a moisture retentive soil.

Another floral print (for once created from my own brain without the help of various ornamental design books). It unintentionally ended up looking very hoppy, right down to the serrated leaves, so I've printed it in this thinned-out phthalo green as well.
