75. You would have loved her big studio!....

Mon Feb 9, 2026, 01:33 PM

Monday

Tall shelves of all kinds of papers. Lots of metal type, and a press for that.

Shelves of dry color powder for mixing paints. Two big long sets of draws that acted like tables too. Small table by the French doors to the outside, and a an inner set of stairs and door to the main house. And while not edible grapevines on the outside of those doors!!!

A big pinting press with w big wheel to turn it. A mini mezzanine w a few steps up with draws of gigantic wood type. The only place I never went to see! Der!

She drew. Did etchings, pastels. Made a few small press children's books, of which I have most. 🩷

Her main thing were beautiful B & W, or multi-colored woodcuts from small to big ? 2 ft by ?18" in. 🥰🥰🥰
She let me pick out a few to take home w me. Been at my sister's apt for years. I think I'm going to get some Canson mien tiens colored paper, put them on there pickng out a suitable color to go w each print, and put them up on the wall. A Springtime 🌱 project! 👍🥰
