a thank you to postcard makers from July!

In my last post I mentioned a small volume (curious words that!) I had put together to document the year of 'Homage to the Seed'. See previous post for more on that (you can skip the Portuguese!)

I made a 2 page tribute to all the bloggers who sent in cards...  I needed another few pages for this purpose actually... but you can imagine space was limited. And I must mention there were quite a few other bloggers who were simply wonderful and went to the trouble of spreading the word about this mail-art show on their blogs... I put a little tribute to all bloggers in the acknowledgements page.

Well... I did try to fit them all in... in the book they are a LOT easier to see... and I have suggested to readers they come and read all about who sent cards from where at this blog!

68 page treatise

So where did I get the image for the cover from ... this close up section of the painting below titled 'seed lab maths' ...before i put the white ink circles on it! I loved the texture of the line and selvedge and the paint from a loaded brush dragged across the linen. I also didnt want to spell out the contents on the cover. Odd the decisions you make at the time. The printer was quick to say "why didn't you use this image ... I like it?

                      Imagine if you asked everyone you knew...!

I'll add more pages here or there. Been at the studio all day and half the night...  I was stuffed so came home and have had a lovely time popping in and visiting bloggers here and there. I'm inspired and decided week after next I want to try and post an image from everyone's blog that I frequent...so if I come knocking...!

Escape into life

For a little diversion this morning before I run out the door...I just stopped by my blog...(hello my lovely bloggy friends...I still exist!) and when I trawled down the bottom of the sidebar I found this website/blog I'd forgotten to visit for a LONG time called 'Escape into life' ...and I randomly viewed this artist and these whimsical paintings were perfect for a mellow friday morning after the rush of late.

So I invite you to go see more of this artist's paintings and have a look at the site! There's some great contents there!

Ciao everyone!
