Bonefolder

Today I discovered through Mixed Media group the online e-journal Bonefolder. Beautiful journal on the book arts that you can download onto a disk to read at your leisure. Free.

We have joined the Flat World.

...although Ziggy and Rose don't appear too impressed.

Unraveling my art

Getting ready for Art Unraveled in Phoenix. Gathering materials, doing some packing. I've had practice for the hot weather this week with Seattle's record 103 midweek. Looking forward to classes by Traci Bautista, Judy Wise, Jane LaFazio, and Jacqueline Sullivan. It will be my last fling before I have to think about getting ready for the school year. I plan to do a lot of art and enjoy. Staying with friends in the area, so even better. My only regret is leaving the beautiful Seattle sumer (this past week a rare exception) to wither in the Arizona heat. I am a heat wimp.

This photo will be made into a stencil for Judy Wise's class. It's been made from favorite photo of mine - my mom in a kindergarten costume. I'm looking forward to creating something magical from it.

Can't go out to play. Think we'll nap.

Rose and Miss Ziggy in one of their favorite spots. They don't have to really beat the heat, since they are lucky to live in air conditioning. We remind them of that all the time, but so far we don't get that much gratitude attitude. Ho hum.

It's a new record for heat in Seattle today. 103.

That "open book" on the trunk (said trunk yet unfinished for another year) is a collection of postcards from my time with Postcard Exchange and other mail art exchanges. Wish I could have kept up with them. Maybe when I retire...

Anyway, I periodically wander through the book to get inspired and appreciative of the talents of so many of my mail art friends.
