Kindle 2 — New Gadget Post

11 March 2009

It has arrived. On, of course, one of my busy must-be-out-of-the-house-by-10 days. So it lan­guished on the front porch for 6 hours…
I’ll save you the unbox­ing post. You can have a look here at Engadget’s unbox­ing. I must say that Ama­zon has taken a lot of care with the pack­ag­ing. A very nice expe­ri­ence. (I do […]

Mean­while here are the graph­ics for the cov­ers of  “(K) Kicks”

Purple Book

10 February 2009

I seem to be on a roll here with the pur­ple stuff.
This is a quick book bind­ing project. The text block was pur­chased from Paper Source. It comes with cover boards but with­out a spine board. Japan­ese paper and book cloth.
I like this long for­mat for guest books or albums.

The prob­lem of how […]

Shoes

30 April 2008

There’s an mag­a­zine called Antenna, that show­cases “street wear” Some­thing that, as a mid­dle aged white lady, I know lit­tle or noth­ing about. How­ever, the mag­a­zine is a trea­sure trove of images of things (shoes, sweat­shirts, tooth­brushes(?)) laid out against a white background.

Each issue has sev­eral pages of — shoes.
Some of which were cut out and […]

W.I.P. fishy-fishy flag book

19 February 2008

Play­ing catch-up while away from home. First up, a book that is slowly tak­ing shape.
It com­bines a for­mat (flag book), a mate­r­ial (water­color washes) and a bit of dog­gerel that wrig­gled into my head (and sketch­book) a cou­ple of years ago.
The for­mat is the flag book bind­ing. I made a goofy test ver­sion using a tacky […]

Passing Time Outside of the Studio

2 January 2008

The painters arrive tomor­row to fin­ish the great house paint­ing project. They will be paint­ing my office, the DH’s office, and my stu­dio. I am work­ing out of a lit­tle rolling cart on the kitchen counter. Severely lim­ited in terms of mate­ri­als and tools.
The House of Myth­i­cal Crea­tures is on hold for the week. It’s ready […]
