{Reading symbols formed.}
Dear you,
It’s in the tea. In the leaves of the tea. In the beverage I rarely drink. Such prophesy! Unbeknownst happiness. Love. Light. Travel. What joy this reads! Good fortune twined to the discovery of an undeveloped talent. Such news delivered by a man with rosy cheeks belonging to a cherub! Tether me to the earth. I feel giddy. I feel weightless. I feel as though at any moment I could take flight. Ascend! Upwards! Hit my head on the roof of the sky. Be this true? What are the exquisite chances? I’ll take it, if only for an hour. I will believe those symbols at the bottom of cup true. Much happiness. Love dear. Pleasant conditions. A mug I’d be to refuse.
Yours bewilderingly ecstatic and with singing heart,

+ The Sticky Annual Zine Fair takes place this Sunday at the Melbourne Town Hall from 12noon until 5pm. Dear ones in Melbourne, hope to see you there.
+ A through the keyhole peep at a small part of a collage especially for MIEL books. One of a trio of new images, Louise and I look forward to revealing more about this project soon.

Traveller dear,
Louise Jennison and I make artists’ books, we make all sorts of things, and most usually we make things on paper. Collaboration comes naturally to us both; it is an enjoyable process that yields treasure not possible without the other. Working side-by-side, as we do from our home-based studio in Melbourne, Australia, it is a pattern we are familiar with, a path we are delighted to tread, seeing what new scenario evolves. Collaboration throws up the unexpected, and what is not to like about that?
When not with scissors in hand, I can be found writing about ballet and contemporary dance for Fjord Review, and (upon occasion) painting and collage for RMIT.
With paper sufficient to cover the moon and sincerely yours,
Gracia Haby
