#archivalglue

I'm planning new #artistbooks and I'm #foldingpaper and using #archivalglue to make #concertina #books for upcoming content. But I gotta admit that just the actions of folding, cutting, trimming and gluing the #handmadepaper feels *so* good. There's that wide expansive feeling of #possibilities for one thing... - #authorartist (at Vancouver, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cau91UxPQFQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

My newest #childrensbook "How The Cow Went Over The Moon and Tiny Notes For The Sun" began its life as rolled up paper that had been given to me by my friend Laurel, some sheet music given to me by my friend @greyhoundwhisperer51, some grey #bookbinders board from @twinrocker and their #archivalglue www.twinrocker.com I thought about my #vancouverusa downtown and how I love it that the #library @fvrlibraries and the #independenttheatre @kigginstheatre are some of the tallest most iconic buildings. I also thought about the #scrubjay blue birds that are native here. Then I wondered just how did Mother Goose's cow travel over the moon... and how do birds remember their songs? The two #handmade #books were created first and then because I wanted my friends to be able to have copies if they want them I did #booklayout and #bookdesign to make #printedbooks - those are available on demand here https://www.blurb.com/b/11033023-how-the-cow-went-over-the-moon-and-tiny-notes-to Now @storyberries is distributing #ebook versions of each of my books!! www.storyberries.com They have even created a new book category for my work called "experimental art"!! Oh I'm gleefully looking forward to making more books for them to distribute!!! So it can very truthfully be said that this new #artistbook is a direct result of #community !! Thank you all!! And I love you all too!! ❤🙌 - #authorartist #wordless #books #childrensbooks #whimsicalart #whimsicalbooks #miniatureart #handmadebooks #ondemand (at Vancouver, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfZLliP0nB/?utm_medium=tumblr
