Augghhhh! Proofread your posters before printing!

I had lots of time to stitch on my animal scroll on the train ride home because of several long delays.

Hard to choose two from today’s outing to the Smithsonian. I was happy at the National Museum of the American Indian.

The second photo is supposed to be a detail that I might take for granted if I wasn’t looking deeply. I liked the geometrics of this scene waiting for the Metro train, with the goldenrod happily blooming beside the tracks.

Okay, I still have work to do on these puppies, but here are some photos of the books I made in Daniel Essig's class at Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft in Columbia, NC this past week. I will probably rework the covers of the beach themed one. The original had tiny nails around the mica insert but I cracked the front cover with the very last tap of the hammer. So I used double-sided tape and Lofta paper to hold it in. I have a different idea now. The little book with the arch is pretty much done. I'm excited about the darker wooden covers and plan to dye leaf prints onto handmade paper for the pages. That sprig of dried greenbriar vine is pretty strong and it will be tied to the cover. On the back is a little window with half of a hickory or butternut shell with a mica window. I should identify it, I guess, but it was washed up on a lake beach. @pocosinarts
