No best-of lists and notable moments, just a little black and white merriment for you all, dear hearts, and a warm wish for the brightest of New Years. May 2016 come with good health, a corner turned, plenty of love and laughter, new projects to spring into action, and time to make and dream.
Tails up, raise your glasses and sing. Happy New Year!
Yours wrapped in optimism,
Gracia and Louise

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
(High Up in the Trees since 2006)
