I was going to post images of the book I was making for the Linden Postcard Show...but time became very tight. I started sewing the book at 2pm on the day it had to be delivered (across the other side of the city) by 5pm. Fortunately it was a small book, coptic bound with only 12 or so signatures. It didn;t take too long, although I had trouble getting the second cover on firmly. It was a little looser than it should have been...but otherwise, I was very happy with the book. If I had been thinking I could have taken a couple of pictures when I arrived...before I handed it over...I had about 30minutes to spare, as it turned out. Oh well! Hopefully I can put something up later.
But as I don't have any images of the book (called Counting Crows...or Magpies), I'll share some images of a book from a few months ago, Nude as Wallpaper - Sample Book. Nudes from Art History (some more recognizable than others) are simplified (some more than others) and printed over text from Kenneth Clark's opening paragraph from his book, The Nude. It's side-bound with a hinged cover - like a wallpaper sample book!
