This past Saturday at the Books Arts Jam Fair I saw Elaine Benjamin of Blue Chair Press. We got to be friends several years ago when we both had tables at a book fair in Seattle. Elaine contacted me about sharing a hotel room because our press names were so similiar! I’m really glad she did, because as a bonus to saving money on my hotel room, we spent a relaxing day before the bustle and stress of the fair weekend exploring a bit of Seattle.
Elaine makes books but also uses words and type in her prints (like the dictionary page below) and in her Dada Dolls. She writes a story about each doll and attaches it to the back. I especially like the ones that incorporate wooden type.
