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 […]

Tomor­row I’ll fin­ish up the hinges and title […]

19 December 2007

Much progress has been made on the House of Myth­i­cal Crea­tures. None of which is vis­i­ble in the photo. I’m think­ing that I need to build some sort of press for hold­ing the pan­els flat while they dry. Also I noticed after how many weeks? (5, I think) that there is a typo in one of […]

Toad Gardens

27 November 2007

The quote is Mar­i­anne Moore. I don’t know why it seemed nec­es­sary to put words about toads on top of the open­ing page of an old edi­tion of Pride and Prej­u­dices. But it was.
