I have loved xylography since childhood. I also experimented widely with the tools I found at home in my father’s toolkit. He used to make models of sailboats, and I carefully tried not to get hurt with the small sharp gouges which I now see in Mrs Leboroni’s hands.
The difference is that she is very good both at drawing and at turning drawings into “plates”, and also makes bespoke creations for every possible occasion, so that I wish no celebration may ever go by without any of her cards to send!
