Mini Razor Clam Books

Ready at last...after a few mishaps, sewing pages in wrong way, trimming folded edges instead of raw edges...yay!

Flat Pack Shelf for TTP table

Mini maquette created by Emmi to display our beachwork books.  Needs slight moderation and then it will be perfect to add a bit of height to our table at the 'Turning the Page' Norwich Artists Book Fair on May the 2nd and 3rd.

Shell gathering and Box making

Razor clam shells scraped by Emmi, Sue's mentee art student from Finland, a work in progress for the razor clam books

Origami Box Making for the shell book

This wonderful prototype origami box made by Emmi from two A4 sheets.  We scanned the lithographic print used inside the shell book and then modified the colour as a print surface for the lid of the box.

Turning The Page...Getting closer

Almost there now, the books are taking shape...

Wave book ready to go

The Heat Is On

Circumstances are somewhat against us as we try to prepare and finish editions of our books for TTP

However after an enormous amount of measuring, cutting, folding and pasting we are getting closer to completion.

Shell books almost completed...they are awaiting these

Next up the wave books.....

Editioning

Madeleine and I are not really editioners.  We usually both make one-off pieces.  So making editions is a bit of an anathema for us.  We have both made a promise to TRY and keep a record of what paper we have used  and how we made certain marks on a plate.  I once saw a fabulous technicians note book at the Peacock studio in Aberdeen filled with a record of a prints progress how the colours were mixed and what colours went where.

This work is for the background page of our 'Wave Book'.  Drawn with inks and water based pigment

These lithography prints are for the pages of the 'Shell Book'.  The lithography plate that has proved to be a bit of a fight.  On Japanese paper.  They are waiting for another layer.
