Book-a-day Catch-up

4/2/2012

0 Comments

 
So I cheated a bit this week - I had to catch-up and make a few at the end - they are very simple and I didn't follow through with my plan. But each one helps me focus on what works, what doesn't and so is worthwhile.  
A little more attention was given to being out in the sun this week - what a Stunner! I managed to set up so that I could do some work outside and top up my tan - guilt free sunbathing. There were a couple of trips to the beach of course. Cowrie shells can be found along this coast - they are tiny but rather special.

I have been cutting up lots of paper for my Book-in-a-Box.
The silver cover is a sample book kit to show prospective customers.
The other two books are made from offcuts - I hope I might be able to sell some of them at the Glasgow International Artist Bookfair

Two more off cut books and one using a map cover.

This book was the first of the week when my resolve was strong. It has a selection of hand printed maps with different approaches to labelling them as an experiment. The facing page to each of the maps has a critical assessment and notes on technique. I hope to use this way of printing maps for a batch of books about the locality, so it was a useful exercise.

     I have moved further North with lots and lots of bits of paper, to make hand bound books by the Sea.
    I hope to recount some of my adventures and inspirations as I head off into the blue yonder.........
