Rainy Day Packaging

Today the rain comes down in SoCal a la Seattle-style, where for 9 years I lived on an island. Rain was part of life, no escape, so black rubber boots and a chin-up (or head-down) were de riguer. Now, the only black rubber I have is flip-flops, a bit too chilly for rain or printshop. AND I had to climb on the printshop roof and sweep leaves off to prevent pooling and possible leakage. I was soaked and bitter. Printing was also a failure so I have instead been pre-paring for the NY January show rush and have been packaging for hours in front of Julie & Julia. Li’l glass o’ port and it is after all a perfect rainy day.

My favorite teacher at U of Southern Maine, Rebecca Goodale, was a very inspiring fiber and book artist. One of the best assignments was two students sat together; ONE TOLD a story of their own, the OTHER ILLUSTRATED it… what do people imagine we are telling them?

Setting up the Sugarcube booth. Over 150 new designs and letterpress sweetness…it took awhile.
