Home again

My trip was really lovely. While I missed my boys terribly, it was very educational...I saw some really inspiring things, found out that the city
I used to call home doesn't quite feel so much like home anymore— interesting—and I got to spend some time with family and friends that I don't get to see as often as I'd like.

Now as I gather myself and prepare to share a few findings from my trip, I thought I would direct all you letterpress enthusiasts out there over to Adventures in Letterpress, where Erin has posted a really informative piece about using Crisco to clean your letterpress. It sounds like a really great and more environmentally sound alternative to the citrus wash I've been using, so I am definitely going to give it a try.

Also out there in blog world since I've been away, Diana wrote a great post about pricing her art right here.

My fellow designers out there, take a look at Michael Bierut's latest on Design Observer; Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Typeface.

Finally, Julia wrote a great piece about Pattern Design Resource Books on Book By Its Cover...I want everything on her list!

Back with more tomorrow...goodnight friends!

i always used vegetable oil followed by a wipe of vinegar which works really well to clean the press!
