rutemple@livejournal.com BioI'm a graphic designer & production maven, an eagle-eyed proofreader and technical editor. I've been successfully self-employed more years than corporate or other small business employed, and enjoy all these states of working. I'm currently on sabbatical from the technical editing that's been my bread-and-butter since 2002, and enjoying work that's much more people-oriented.
For fun, I play fiddle for dance, love to sing, and enjoy all manner of fiber arts. I paint silk, sew, spin fiber, weave, crochet, and read a lot. I am learning the traditional art of bookbinding and letterpress printing, and bind and sell blank books and my painted silks.
My dearling and I are gardeners, happily experimenting using a straw-bale raised bed technique, and am active on the Dave's Garden gardeners' website. There's a Frappr map of straw-bale gardeners over here.
I am RuTemple on del.icio.us
