EXHIBIT NO. FOURTEEN
After looking at the jewelry found in the grate and closely studying the designs as I sketched them I began to see a similarity in the styles of the pieces. Most of the gold have deeply etched patterns and the two brooches both have a leaf motif. It's hard to know...
HOLIDAY CARDS
Every year around December 1st I start to get worried that Jake and I will never get our holiday cards finished in time to mail. (At that point we have no idea what the card will be, or any theme either) Then we procrastinate, putting off the creating until we realize...

CLAY PEOPLE
This was the last project of my Monday clay studio. The session is over and I have done all the things I set out to complete. This set of figures was made to place on my block wall. I see it from my kitchen window and thought it needed some friendly small sculptures....
THE COVER PART TWO
So today I worked on cover number two. My edition of IN THE TRENCHES, Hart Island, New York. All alone, without the aid of my trusted friend, I actually managed to make a book cover. Well, the paper on the spine is supposed to be reversed, and when I attached the palm...
MINUS THE KISS

EXHIBIT NO. THIRTEEN
This is one of the larger sketches in the series measuring 8 x 6 inches and depicting a ring that is no wider than one inch. It is the ring that Mary C. Leto so generously let me keep out of the two that were found with the mystery items. I had a garnet set into it...
THE COVER WARPS
I am new to bookmaking (no, no not the kind where you take bets) and never made a real cover before (I have made some lame attempts though), so I think I might have uncovered the binding from the press too soon. There was some warping. I have placed it under pressure...
JACOB’S BLOCK PRINTS
During our random art nights (because we all can't get our schedules coordinated for a regular time) Jacob has been creating some series of prints. One is a group called the Freedom Series which features commentary on social issues of imprisonment, revolution and...
COVER
It is late on Tuesday night and we have just peeked under our weights to see how the cover is drying. Mary and I are very happy with the results. The palm paper on the front cover is just as we imagined. Our only disappointment was the black paper we chose for the...
