Artist's Comment: Michelle met our daughter Billie Bryan in 2007 (Billie was a barista at an Edmonds coffee shop then) and through Billie suggested that we show our presses at the Edmonds Arts Festival, which Lynda and I did in June of 2008. Then Michelle wanted a Halfwood press. She hinted to her children after which they ordered it for her as a Christmas gift. Later she ordered a chase for printing with Safety-Kut, having seen my demonstration on YouTube.

The art festival turned out to be a highlight of our year! Thanks, Michelle!
