old work, published.

a poster i worked on several years ago has been published in a book entitled Dirty Fingernails. when i first saw the book, standing alone in the bookstore, a silly little grin formed on my face, possibly accompanied by a slight giggle. pretty exciting to see one's name and work in print, it's true.

[finnish christmas tarts]

these little star tarts are deeply associated with my childhood since my great aunt would make them every christmas. and so i decided to make them myself this year. for this first attempt i did not make the dough myself, but instead used store bought puff pastry. i did, however, make the prune jam myself, and despite "prune jam" not sounding all that wonderful, i assure you, it is delicious.









i also made some with apricot jam.
