An interesting development has occurred in the last few days…. Despite never being known for my bookmaking skills, I’ve been asked to be involved in a book fair.
A wave of panic went over me when I thought about attempting to make some delicate object that somebody might want to own, while desperately trying to recall the rudimentary steps from the book course I attended a few months ago.
Why on earth would anyone ask me to do this??
Emailing back to say I couldn’t do it, I got this reply:
( after a reference to the works I already make with paper and words )..
Books of course are the theme, but any sort of paper craft would be just as wonderful….. Interpret the Fair how you see it… experiment …….
Experiment? Ha! OK. So let me get out of my head that I am making something for sale. If I actually finish anything, my books are to be viewed as ‘experiments’.
So today, I experimented. Watch this space!
