The witches …..

…..in the sticks.

I’m trying to see if I can use this AI image to make something. But it’s probably already better than anything I can do.

For better or worse….

…I finished my books for the Easter show.

Top. The War of the Worlds, a newly case bound multi  section book, with the textbook from Binders Edition. I painted new endpapers and cover illustrations, and free hand tooled the cover design. And hand sewn end bands.

Middle. A repair and rebind of Mrs. Beeton’s Shilling Cookbook. It was missing the covers and first few pages, so I made and designed new covers and endpapers by hand colouring prints of some of the plates inside the book. The book is sewn on cords and laced into the cover boards, 1/4 Leather bound, with my dodgy hand drawn blocking.

Bottom. Pictures of Sound, which is a booklet and CD from Dust To Digital. They have a digital download. Being in Australia it’s really expensive to get their things here, so I figured I would print my own booklets and make my own special editions. This is a stab sewn textbook with simple printed paper covered board for the covers, with inlaid prints of the CD cover from and back. Endpapers are made from images from the booklet.

No one would have believed…

…that I could make more of this crap.

Than chances of anything coming from Mars…

…are a million to one. But still they come.

The chances of me finishing binding this edition of War Of The Worlds, is about the same.

Hail the bin chicken…

…long live the bin chicken.

We are all….

…merely the dust of stars. Not actually stars.

I got sick….

….of waiting for me to finish this.

Ugh.

A Kangaroo you say …

…..yes. I see them every day. Just give me a moment.

A dolphin….

….yes I’ve seen a dolphin. Just give me a few moments.

What’s the problem….

….with my spray tan?
