COLLAGE EXPLORATIONS

altered p.cards and book cover:
will insert the book into Tesco’s book department. . .

“KRISHNAMURTI in fact INSERTED INTO LOCAL LIBRARY”
slipped the altered book into the ‘K’s, where the Penguin spine
gives no hint of the altered cover. . . .

what’s that on my shoulder

notes from the kitchen sink studio…..

the delight of making books

* integrating rubber stamps, pochoir (stencil) and drawing *
learning pochoir, with lovely Angie Butler on her delightful slow printing workshop
was a total pleasure:
sublime to slow down, print, relax and eat cake…with other creative types

and Wangdor Rinpoche in Sweden
