between the rain and the clear

between the rain and the clear is a book made of a single printed sheet; the book is created simply through folding and cutting. If you click on the images it should bring you to a slightly larger slide show so it will be easier to read the text.

 

 

 Examples of the variable edition: the pochoir is also available in blue or black ink, and each window is slightly different, as is the cloud finish on the colophon page.

This book is offered in a variable edition of 175; I am selling them for $20 each. 

Help me pay for our trip to Seoul this summer!

new "sketch"

The first thing I made for Warren Seelig's Introduction to Constructed Surfaces course.

I am so excited to be in his class that I could burst!

what was once a flaw

work in progress:

what was once a flaw (working title)

this is a book made of double-sided suminagashi pages, with grey embroidered french knots accentuating the "flaws" in the suminagashi - the air bubbles. Ultimately it will start at a small, folded down source, and unfold to a structure that takes up an entire table. There will be a white embroidered path running through the entire book, a life journey.

I think these are the tiniest stitches I've ever made.

pen & ink drawings

It's not exactly private knowledge that I've never considered myself an artist with any drawing capability whatsoever, but as part of our taxonomy project we were required to have at least one collection be drawn from life. I chose to challenge myself further by drawing the set using pen and ink, which I had never previously explored. It was so laborious that I'm in no hurry to revert to this medium, but I did find it surprisingly enjoyable!

Ten vintage button sets

(I have yet to come up with a clever name for this set... let me know if you have any suggestions)

More taxonomy... the never-ending project.
