Artist's comment: Jennifer contacted me after seeing the Halfwoods online and ordered Number 64. She wrote: "I was immediately drawn to the 'warmth' of the hand crafted press vice the cold, industrial, mass-produced alternatives. Plus, I really liked that they are created by an artist with artistic sensibilities."
