book it

I mentioned in an earlier entry that I had gone to Sitka Center for Art and Ecology on the Oregon coast to participate in a workshop. I think I even managed to hint at it being a bookbinding workshop...yet the results of this time have been mysteriously absent from this blogging....
(I'm using natural beeswax from my local beekeeper!)
It takes time to process new information and techniques! I've been playing, one could say, and call it a truth. :) Spending good time and energy cutting, sanding, stitching and waxing my scrumptious coptic bound wood covered books. Just what I hoped to achieve in the workshop. And just what I had hoped I'd feel about them once I found my way around their creation by my own hands; oh so yummy! More diversity to play in. More experimentation to mess with. More stuff to explore! And, more to come, I assure you!!! in love. trish

edges

As I awaken today, filled with anticipation of all that I want to do, all that needs me to do, and all that just feels good to do, I realize it's all about edges! Living on the edge is living close to the action; fully engaged and right there with goosebump creating wonder. So, these are my edges today as I return from my trip to Oregon to an empty house and ideas flowing!
edges of baking edges of reading edges of dusting edges of entries edges of laudry edges of natural
edges of projects
edges of sleep
in love. trish
