The Secret Code of Women
This was my other offering for the QBG exhibition in the state library. It was the first book I ever made with QBG, blank pages and rather an ordinary black and white cover. It sat around for ages, never quite inspiring me to use it as a journal. But prompted by the call for books, I redesigned the cover and here it is. Unfortunately they had so many books that they could only take one of mine.
Journal for a Mermaid
It's been soooo long between posts, I was wondering if I am able to actually keep a blog alive. I've been creating heaps, just not taking the time to put it out there. And you know, time slips past and the time lag becomes embarassingly long. The only answer is to start again, somewhere, anywhere. So in no particular order, I am tossing it out again, as the whim takes me.
This beautiful journal is going on display at the State Library as part of an exhibition by the Queensland Bookbinder's Guild. Its a bit of a shame that all the books will be behind glass, as the lovely driftwood, glass and shells in the box are really meant to be touched and smelt and invoke memories of salt and sea.
And yes, I did go back to Mona Lisa's in West End and surprise them with an art block featuring one of their altered business cards. They loved it and wanted me to sell some in their shop! an offer I declined.
