UPS

I saw the UPS truck today...

...and it just kept going. Maybe tomorrow? Maybe tomorrow it will

bring me my rollers?

Art

My rollers should be here at the end of the week! So excited for them to arrive from NA Graphics. And even though I was prompted to see if I had trucks for the rollers, (which I have some) I think I might be two short, which is depressing, but easy to fix.

I adore this letter "L," from DailyDropCap.com -- from what I understand, the artist has been doing a letter a day for quite some time. My friend Barry introduced me to it during the first three letters of the project, and it's been pretty interesting to watch it evolve.

Agony of Waiting

I realize it's only been about 24 hours, but I just want my rollers to be here, now.

While working today, I came up with a new idea that combines botanical prints and notebooks; I'm going to have to invest in a boxcar base next. (boxcarpress.com) ...after the business card job.

Coming Soon: Rollers

Rollers!

I ordered my rollers today, they should be here in about a week, according to the schedule. Fantastic. I'm very excited, I can print soon!

Inspiration

I printed this weekend; little spring notecards. I plan on sending some out soon; mostly they were something to do that was fun while I visited Wells this weekend.

I'm buying my rollers tomorrow! Going to the bank and just doing it, rather than wait around longer. I think that will be a good adventure.

And I've been making a list of printing inspirations recently:

-chicks (I really want to build a chicken coop)

-nazca lines (National Geographic did an article on them)

-fish (I've been cleaning and changing my tanks)

-printing (because I constantly dream about it--can it be it's own inspiration?)

Rollers?

Remember that Evanescence song that used to play on the radio all the time? Along with some other parts of the song, there's the chorus about "bring me to life." Well. That's about how I think the rollers for my press feel. (Yes, I know, Evanescence song and printing rollers. I'm trying to figure out why, too.) They're cracked, have old ink hardened on them... really not fit for printing, but as new ones cost a fortune, I might as well give it a go.

Anyway. I hope they come back to life, because I really, really want to print.
