It's like we've all traveled in your pocket. What a stunning repository of presses! What museum allows hands on experimenting with their collection? What a rare treat. And I agree with Annie B completely - your statement caught me, and I read it twice to absorb the enormity of that kind of transformation. <br />For the record, as someone who proudly hangs you work in my home & studio, I've always thought of you as an incredible artist.belindadelpesco.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062375277740529374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13576894.post-18087525153675656942009-08-20T13:15:10.610-01:002009-08-20T13:15:10.610-01:00Astonishing -- that's not just a museum, it...Astonishing -- that's not just a museum, it's a shrine to presses.

A change like that doesn't come easy and I'm so happy for you that your trip had that effect on you. Looking forward to seeing the change unfold.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13576894.post-42655370825436943392009-08-19T21:08:34.147-01:002009-08-19T21:08:34.147-01:00Thank you for including us in your journey, I thor...Thank you for including us in your journey, I thoroughly enjoyed it!Terry Sargent Pearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051494400698884966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13576894.post-47296697969118194172009-08-19T19:05:47.847-01:002009-08-19T19:05:47.847-01:00This is beautiful, Andy.
