THE BOOK EFFECT

So in case you didn't know I have just started working for READ International. WATCH THE VIDEO!

Scribbles before bedtime

Have also been doodling before bed this week....I don't know what people with stuff coming out of their heads means, maybe it means I am stressed or something.

Cut it out!

Ages ago I made these cut-out-pop-up cities for a book based on Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities" for my art foundation, I was thinking about making some more, probably much smaller though! Maybe make some little foldout books. I'm experimenting a lot at the moment with lino printing and different ways of using print. Anyway, I feel a bit unimaginative at the moment so I thought I'd blog a bit before doing a bit of scribbling. Its hard to switch mindset when I have so many other jobs to do!

New goccos!

GOCCO

So after several hiccups and mishaps, I have FINALLY managed to make my first successful gocco print! It has been a bit of a time consuming activity (also because I foolishly decided to make my own screens) but it paid off in that first moment when I made the first print and it looked beautiful! So happy....I'll put up some photos later.
Squeee!

More bees

Taken at Hampton Court flower show. They had little fields of sunflowers and were pulling them all up at the end of the day, so I quickly went to take photos. Also by the way, I have not photoshoppped this even though it looks like I have! (Click to view all the fibonaccial glory)
