OCTOBER IS ALMOST HERE




and I am still working on the book! It is beginning to seem like the endless project, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!! When I get tired of turning the heavy wheel of that letterpress, I call on my friend and worker bee Rob Garbarino to take over. He has arms like an octopus and makes that machine hum. The letterpressed text is now done, and neatly stacked up, waiting for...



The drawings in the book, which will be offset printed. And while they are at A to Z printing, I have three weeks to put together some merchandise for my Halloween show - Friday and Saturday, Oct. 3 & 4, from 10 - 4. (see pics). Nothing could be more fun! I will try to post more often, at least once a week, from now on. I am still getting the hang of it.

Oh Wendy I love to see photos of your magical art work, wonderful studio and gorgeous shop! It's all so over the top inspiring! To be able to visit the "Theatre of Dreams" one day is one of my biggest wishes!
Good luck with your book!

Hi Wendy,
Your letterpress is so cool! I went to Cal Poly where I got to use one myself. It does take work to catch on to using it. Love all your amazing artwork, and your Halloween pieces are great.
Take care,
Martha

Will your shop be open for the Halloween Sale??? I am so inspired by you and your work. I will be at Alameda on the 5th from Oregon and would love to come to your studio on the 4th.
