Making Weird Cats I've Seen on the Internet sure was an adventure! We changed our printing plan and had to take much longer than anticipated on the creation time. But we are pretty happy with how this 100% block printed book by @carapacestudios.bsky.social turned out.
Last year, I published a book called Draw Bugs! This Saturday, you can draw bugs with me at Mudlark Oddities. www.eventbrite.com/e/draw-bugs-...
New stuff in our TRINKET BOX! You can swap trinkets with us any time at our in-person events. Our next one is the Haunted Christmas Market, Dec 13-14, at Magnusson Hanger 30. See you there?
Here's the info for the event. See you soon? ilu.
A VERY Hammer&Hemlock Christmas this weekend at The Cove on Bainbridge Island! Come on out and treat your tree to some offbeat ornaments.
BOOK ARTS starts tomorrow!
In this bookmaking crash course, we will explore different bookmaking techniques, including zines, accordion books, coptic stitch, art books, and more. Prepare to get messy as we glue, fold, cut, and sew.

People who know how to sew have do much power. And grace. Trying to sell something and people complain it costs so much. If I were them, I'd sell it for hundreds more
The people demand forbidden crunchies
We're debuting these journals tonight at the Tacoma Halloween Parade, and will be adding to the website next week. You can also get them at @pnwwitchesmarket.bsky.social next weekend.
Less than 3", try these as a keychain or a pendant. You'll never lose your to do list again! Plus, when you're done, you can replace the notebook with any of our handmade minis.
The most fun part of this is all the charms we find!

POV: Looking for juuuust the right charms for our brand new mini leather journals.
This is one of our 5 managers, Goose. She likes to test us by stomping on our work and breaking things, but at the end of the day she just wants belly rubs. Not very professional.

Trying to be more transparent with my process by showing you something I've been working on for 1.5 years now....Weird Cats zine. 100% block printed. I have 4 more pages to carve before I'm ready to print, but you'll see more soon.
Why am I folding a zillion tiny seed packets? For debuting at Tacoma Zine Fest tomorrow, of course! @rosiepringle.com and I have been working overtime to get out our 1st book through our brand new small press, @hammerandhemlock.bsky.social (Haha, yep I know there's not much at that profile YET.)
