No time for anything but a skeletal blog update tonight ...
While the printing crew is busy up in the woodshop working on the cases, Yasui-san is alone down in the workroom steadily getting the prints themselves ready for shipping. As you can see from this photo, for this series, we've found a solution to that problem of having the shape of the photo corners showing through the thin print paper!
Each print on its mat gets folded inside a sheet with a small descriptive story about it:
This batch will be posted in the morning, to that batch of collectors who have 'volunteered' to have their cases shipped later ...
And meanwhile, back upstairs, they're still at it. Drilling the case bottoms for the finger holes ...
... and then sanding the results:
It didn't take her long to think of a 'better way' to do it ...
And when we had a moment to look up at the view outside the window, this is what we could see!
