Another post I have wanted to do for a long time. Coming up to the anniversary of this event I’ve finally got round to doing it. Below is the description of the project taken from UWE Website. “Twenty six people from the USA and the UK were asked to make personal contributions to…
This book was made for the Personal Histories Exhibition. It was not the book I first intended to make – I was going to use the Twinkle Story – however, I just could not make this book work. I wanted it to have a glossy cover but could not get any paper that satisfied all…
Went to see this exhibition (curated by Nancy Campbell) today at the Arnolfini in Bristol with Angie Butler. “I See You Everywhere showcases 25 years of Valentines published by the Artist Roni Gross under the imprint of Zitouna Press.

Book Art Object – Project I Now that the call out for the 3rd Project of Book Art Object has gone out and we are getting started I just wanted to write a little bit about my experience. I can’t remember how I found Sara Bowen’s post on Here. I think I got lost…
