Who We Are

Numenius is a geographer by training and temperament. He is a Bay Area native, and grew up roaming the East Bay hills. Pica takes her cue from Pica nuttalli, the endemic magpie of central California, chatty and alighting on gleaming things. Pica has another blog, Bird by Bird, in which she records her sketches of birds.

Black Book

My latest exercise in bookbinding has been to make a black-papered book using Canson Mi-Tientes art paper. Each page is 5” high by 8” wide, good I suppose for nighttime landscapes.

The goodies available at Talas are starting to look very tempting.
