Happy Women Wednesday! Here's a special message from Claire.

[ID: Digital drawings of Jane Prentiss, Annabelle Cane, Daisy Tonner, and Gertrude Robinson from TMA. Jane is a pale, slender woman with slightly jaundiced, acne-scarred skin and long, dark brown hair. She stands facing the side, looking away sadly. Beside her head are a black-tipped worm and a love-heart in a sickly yellow tone. Annabelle is a thin Black woman with bleached natural hair and dark roots. She sits in a rocking chair, smiling innocently up to the side. She wears earrings styled after spiders suspended from silk, there is a live spider on her forehead, and there is an old wound on her head scarred over with spiderweb, and there is a spiderweb drawn in purple behind her. Daisy is a slightly muscular white woman with chin-length blonde hair, scars across her skin, and a nose crooked from breaking and resetting. She leans against a post, looking off to the side, with a predator's fangs bared drawn in orange beside her. Gertrude is an old white woman with silver hair and glasses worn on a chain. She is smoking a cigarette and looking at the viewer with an unreadable expression. Her pupils glow slightly, similar to the red-eye effect in photography, and there are spectral eyes squinting judgmentally behind her, also in red. End ID.]

It's Women Wednesday!

[boojangs]

My favorite show has:

A tortured brunette who's dangerous but secretly soft for a select few...

...her blonde girlfriend who looks sweet but can and will absolutely kill you...

...a goofy sidekick that comes in clutch but has a thing for the blonde girlfriend...

...a man the heroine should never have kissed...

...swords...

...monsters...

...vampires...

...and the gayest shit you've ever seen.

Y'all know what time it is #WallpaperWednesday

[vaniloqu3nce]

Yoko, sitting down next to Enid randomly: I think I get it now. You and Wednesday work because you’re both crazy and obsessive

Enid: What? Where the hell did that come from. I am not crazy or obsessive.

Yoko: …how many wallpapers do you have of Wednesday?

Enid: Ninety two and there aren’t enough hours in the morning to appreciate them.

Yoko: And how long have you two been dating?

Enid: One hundred sixty eight days and six hours—and…*checks her phone* nine seconds

Yoko: And what time did you first meet?

Enid: Eight thirty two am on Monday morning.

Yoko: And when is my birthday

Enid: …aren’t you dead why does that matter.

Wood Engraving Wednesday

GERI WADDINGTON

These wood engravings are by English artist Geri Waddington (b. 1953), and are inserted into her brief essay about her visit to "French Papermakers & Other House Guests," published in Matrix 29 (Summer 2010), pp. 14-16, printed at John and Rosalind Randle’s Whittington Press in Risbury, Herefordshire, England in an edition of 725 copies.

Waddington describes her visits to Moulin du Verger, in Puymoyen, France, operated by proprietor and master papermaker Jacques Brejoux, Moulin de la Rouzique (now a museum) in Périgord, and the Moulin de Larroque in Couze-Saint-Front. Much of her narrative, however, dwells on the house she stayed at which had many other non-human residents, including doves and bats that live in "pigeoneer" holes and lizards that live in the walls, as reflected in these engravings. Other denizens included frogs, toads, hornets, masonry bees, and a barn owl. Waddington writes:

I am not sure if my blocks or my printing can do justice to these beautiful papers, but perhaps it is enough just to own some of these little pieces of history, mementos of a continuum of craftsmanship stretching back nearly five hundred years.

Geri Waddington trained in painting at the Slade School of Fine Art and started engraving in 1995. In 2001 she was elected a member of the venerable Society of Wood Engravers, and served as its chair in 2014.
