A good morning.
{Little Olive under the sheets and Omar above.}
Today I woke up to the sounds of two men quarrelling in the street in a language I could not understand, and to Omar, my Siamese cat, walking across the back of my calf muscles as I lay in bed. Today I also slept in and I love days which afford me such a luxury. I am going to work today on finishing two new zines, a handful of collages and I have the whole day before me. I also plan to wrap up card orders in tissue and ribbon and send them to many of you. Today has a good busy and productive feel to it. It is Friday and it is warm, and I think it’s going to be just swell. Wishing you, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, an equally grand day also.
** We’re in the Book Arts (The University of the West of England) November/December newsletter if you fancy a read. We’re on page 10 of issue 38 which you can download as a pdf here.
** I have just discovered the photographs of Amy Stein and her more than beautiful domesticated series. "The photographs in this series are constructed based on real stories from local newspapers and oral histories of intentional and random interactions between humans and animals. The narratives are set in and around Matamoras, a small town in Northeast Pennsylvania that borders a state forest." See them for yourself here.
** Thanks, Maditi.
