Dard Hunter : miscellaneous thoughts and reflections / compiled by Robert E. Massmann

William Joseph "Dard" Hunter (November 29, 1883 – February 20, 1966) was an American authority on printing, paper, and papermaking, especially by hand. He is often credited as one of the influences in the resurgence in fine hand papermaking as a craft and an art form in the United States. That legacy can be felt on our campus with the continued tradition of hand papermaking at the Center for the Book.

Today's item includes many interesting elements, including two books, and a 3-D model of Hunters paper mill at Lime Rock, both made in part using paper that was made at the mill.

"Two-volume set of shaped books: volume 1 is shaped like the front of Hunter's mill at Lime Rock with leatherette spine and hand-colored pictorial label. Volume 2 is round to resemble a millstone in two sections, with common spine and printed label, and samples of paper made by hand at the mill.

Both of the volumes sewn by hand. Boards covered with and pages made of handmade Hunter paper. Printed pages in both volumes tipped onto the handmade leaves.

Slipcase for the set is a full 3-dimensional model of Hunter's mill at Lime Rock. It is also covered with the same handmade paper from the last lot produced at the mill at Lime Rock. Hand-colored and detailed.

Paper label on model has text: "Dard Hunter [D]oll [H]ouse. Model of Dard Hunter's paper mill at Lime Rock, Connecticut; covered with handmade paper, unfinished from the last lot produced at the mill. It was purchased in 1928, and closed in 1931. In 1955 it was completely destroyed by a flood." --Catalog

Finished up my Dogimus and my Skitarii squad! This was a lot of fun. I was mostly experimenting as this is my first attempt at starting an army. Some are kitbashed and some are using oil washes and some have decals, which are things that I’ve never done before and would recommend after trying them out!

So ive been off work for two weeks and my goal was to build all the space marine model left in my pile of shame. I did not reach that target, but to be fair, it wasn't a realistic goal either, but If you don't aim high, you will never hit a high target either.

I still think I did pretty well. I am contemplating if I should prime the grey models as well today, but I start work again in less than 10h, and I have heard sleep is a thing humans require.

It's not just the Nurglings who are sassy.

I do hate those silly plastic stands for the Inceptors. So I'm building the highest tactical rock known to mankind to compensate 😅
