Spotlight on Anagram for Ink

One anagram would be Nik, short for Niko, short for Nicole, as in Nicole Silvester of White Raven Bindery.

Okay, here I am: a typesetter most all of my life, recently laid off from my job creating pages in a prepress shop, busy making jewelry when not searching for another job. And here's Niko, doing hand bookbinding, and letterpress, and lithography, and …

And you can imagine how Niko's earrings warmed my heart:

















Awwww … Niko's earrings are available in her shop on ArtFire or on Etsy.

She's also got a tiny intaglio print of Anthropophagus Octopus. Well, Anthropophagus means man-eating, but this guy just looks happy to me. It's in her ArtFire shop.
