| My counter laid out with a piece of glass to roll ink onto, inks, and printing plates. My printing list is a table with twelve different colours of ink across the top and all the designs of Cards, Mini-Prints, and Bookmarks along the side. They are tallied off while printing, and then marked in yellow highlighter pen when done. |
 |
| Some printed and dried mini-prints, awaiting matting and packaging. |
 |
| Bookmarks get trimmed, hole punched, tasseled, stickered, and bagged! |
 |
| Here are some finished Trilobite cards, especially for the Manual Rivers Hibernia Interpretation Centre. |

| Hot water from the WoodDoctor furnace comes into the building in the basement just under this area. Here is the zone valve, pump, heat exchanger, etc. |
 |
| This shows the location of the heating equipment in relation to the panel box. There isn't alot of room to put much more, but there is plenty of room in the basement directly |
 |
| Using the window in the press room as a light table to trace the pattern from the enlarged photograph of the ocean waves onto a piece of crinolin. |
 |
| Tracing through the crinolin onto the burlap using a chaulk sketch stick. Notice the edges of the burlap have already been finished with a rolled hem. |
 |
| Tracing over the sketch stick with a marker. The chaulk will wear off and smudge while working the mat, so I'm drawing over the chaulk with a Sharpie. This step would not be necessary if I had access to crinolin with more space between the threads/larger holes. I would have traced with the marker in the last step. But I have to work with the materials I can get my hands on sometimes. |

| Here's the view from my deck this morning as i drank my 2nd cup of espresso after walking Jack around the cove. |

| Eric Winsor's three new images. The images are of the Anglican church door in Pool's Island, boats on the slip at Brookfield, and Cabot Island lighthouse. |
 |
| Clifford's Education Fund is being reworked. I started hooking brown stripes into the salt fish mat from 2006 where there used to be twigs, representing boughs between the fish and the longers. This will turn an installation piece into a usable rug. |
 |
| Norton's Cove Studio will have a promotional booth tomorrow at this fundraising event at the local museum and gallery. I'll be handing out Xmas Party invitations and discount coupons, and serving fresh coffee. I'll have some small items, like Christmas Cards too. Please stop by for a visit! |
