These are some wonderful small cabinet card photos I picked up in Utrecht in a little store specializing in picture post cards and other ephemera. The top image shows the gilt studio information for the photographer– one of the loveliest I've seen. It's on the back of the first photo card, the oval, which is… Continue reading treasures
Tired. (still on GMT.) Very smooth traveling, though-- actually a pleasant plane trip and only seven hours to get back. Here's another drawing, for now, from the trip book. It's of part of the vast and winding interior of The Sheep Heid Inn in Duddingston, Edinburgh (we did not play skittles, alas) on the far… Continue reading Home from abroad
Amsterdam; the Westerkirk in the background. Edinburgh; Dean Village along the Water of Leith Well I thought I might have been better about adding things here whilst traveling, as I brought my laptop, but no, not really.

In honor of the waning summer, following are a few selects from that weekend we went to the North Fork of Long Island last month. I cannot help but to get sad at… Continue reading a few photos (overdue) from the Upper Tine
A sneak peek at some new silverplate pendants: the caravel from my litho print (a bit of lizzie faux scrimshaw), classic Amsterdam buildings (for key chains to sell at Rolling Orange), and a close-to image of a jade plant. The resin for these has yet to be poured– these are in progress. They will begin… Continue reading time for new jewelry!
Hard-cover binding of the Moleskine Cahier sent to me in June; I used an ostrich pattern leather and handmade screenprinted paper, purchased years ago– finally put to use. So begins my journey into Art House Coop's Sketchbook Project, a collective project the contents of which will tour six American cities, then find a permanent home… Continue reading A record year for rainfall p.1
Splashing about in the massive fountains at the base the Unisphere in the World's Fairgrounds in Queens.
