Wowie! I just got an email, a blast from the past. Erica of Erksnerks said hi. How cool it is to reconnect!

Erica and I met I think around ’96 or ’97 when I was learning web design and doing a lot of mail art. I think we first connected through a WebGrrls group out of the Detroit area. (That was a time when there were very few women on the web.) Later I found her fonts that she designed.

I made her a hand-carved rubberstamp (from an eraser) using her NiaShani font. It’s a lovely, artful font that looks as though it was lettered with a brush rather than pen. Beautiful, and with a beautiful meaning.

Erica is in Ann Arbor these days, and knitting. I am pretty darned sure we’ll reconnect sometime this summer. How cool is that???

Now… go check out her site, OK?
