More book making insanity!
It's way more addictive than it should be, really.
However as far as excuses go, telling my friends "Okay! Have to go, I'm binding a book," is pretty cool. I have had one person ask me "why book binding??" to which I replied, "because otherwise they'd just be individual pages!" Duh. ;)

This one's for my mum (ssh! don't tell her) using pictures from a photo shoot we had done last year for her birthday with all of us "kids". Thankfully mum doesn't come by here and I can share it until I give it to her. Fingers crossed that she likes it!

Accordion Book Part Deux

I really wish that Blogger wasn't so unwieldy when it comes to post layout. I can only fit five pictures per post, and getting them where I want them in the post is guaranteed to have me pulling my hair out.

An Oldie

This is an animated gif I did for someone... oh, 7 or 8 years ago now. I no longer remember the in-joke that spawned it, but I vividly remember it as the first time that one of my own creations made me snort milk out of my nose.

Book: The First

Two pages from the third and fourth "chapter", and the inside back cover which isn't exactly done yet, but my muse hasn't told me what else to do with it yet.

Book: The First

Here's the front cover and some pages from the second "chapter".

Sadly, I have not had much time to myself lately. A lot of family obligations and weirdness, plus of course the holidays coming up.The one thing I'm making time for just to keep myself slightly sane is making a book with my good friend Patti!
I have always loved books, especially antique and esoteric looking volumes, and now thanks to Patti I can make my own and have them as wild and weird as I want.
We'll be stitching the "signatures" together this weekend and I'm really excited to see how it looks all properly bound! I'm especially pleased with my covers, even though they're not done yet. I can't scan them in because they're slightly too large for my scanner so I'll have to get photos of them later.
Here's a few pages that I've done a *bit* of work on.

Bad Ojas

So many different mediums to this piece, I can't even remember everything I used!

This is from a tidbit of novel that a friend of mine let me read. Not too pretty, is it? I think my next work will have to be puppies and kitties and pink roses to make up for how ugly Bad Ojas is.
