Some production can be playful

Fiona and I spent Saturday and Sunday morning working in Deckled Edge Press studio-workshop-gallery. We are continuing to make product for sale; and test the set up of the space, systems and equipment before we open in a few weeks. Of course the opening will have to be done in accord with the Covid-19 requirements including numbers.

One of the fun pieces was the card below - it could be a birthday card; but could also just be an everyday card for folk who love riding bikes. We loved the joyful play on words.

I finished a few more book marks.

I packaged up the gift cards - a stash as you can see from the photo below.

The isolation time is not being wasted.

  2. What a wonderful selection of goodies you’ll have for sale at your opening. This collection of lovely cards and bookmarks along with your fabulous earrings from the previous post and your metalwork items will surely offer something for everyone. That Marion font is luscious. Always a treat to see what you two have been creating.
