I'm pretty sure Jackie carves linocut blocks for printing. I think there is info in this envelope. Sadly, I have chained myself to my desk and am not allowing any digression to research. I'm cracking down on myself with this system for exchanging and blogging.
Rule number one has been to only write in the morning and the only way I can stay ahead of the weeds is to head out at the crack of dawn and attack them. Then it takes a while to clean up and get on with my day.
I've also started a new meal plan where I only allow myself 2 or 3 minutes to make a meal. Poor MrWilson has to make his own salads. So far, he is not complaining.
It's 4:30 pm and I am falling asleep. I think it's because I woke up at 3 am and I thought I had an audiobook that would put me to sleep - but it was the end of the story and it ended up keeping me awake because the author made it into a cliffhanger.
The book is Kutchinsky's Egg by Serena Kutchinsky. It's a true story that covers the 3-4 generations of a family of jewelers leading up to Serena's dad who wanted to create an egg to rival the Fabrege eggs. His idea was to make a really big one. I think that's where he went way off track. Bigger isn't always better. It might impress some people - but it loses the preciousness.
Through the process of making it - he lost everything. His family, his company - and even the egg disappeared. I don't think the book would have interested me except that I tried working with gold and silver in college jewelry classes. I found out that I am a paper person. Metal is too tough and you can mess up your hands.
