Now, that&#8217;s kind of okay, I was 30 minutes late, so I had to wait another 30 minutes for Nick to come back from lunch &#8230;^_^&#8230; fair [...]]]></description>

Not that I have any reason to complain &#8211; I even find grammar inspiring these days &#8211; I write my 500 words per day &#8211; and throw 490 away the next day ^_^ &#8211; read lots of books, listen to university podcasts and, in general, just love everything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Puh! What a relief. It took almost three month to replace my old, for-some-reason-not-available-any-more @#$%^&#38;, printing paper. After I had tried every other paper available in Wellington, wasting an obscene amount of time and money, I sent a sample to Fine Art Paper in Christchurch, and encountered friendly, even exceptional, helpfulness! Small samples were sent, selections made, bigger samples were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a chat with Basia Smolnicki at Inverlochy about copper sulphat etching, I googled the topic and found this sentence on nontoxicprint.com: &#8220;The characteristic of aluminum is the crystalline structure within the metal, which is revealed by the copper sulfate&#8217;s action. This means there is no need for aquatinting to get solid color or lighter tints of any hue.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

It took me weeks of trial and error to find a way to turn the &#8220;Afternoon Tea&#8221; prints into toys. This is the first one that [...]]]></description>
