that book i said i would make, of how it came to be, of how it goes as it goes, for the kids, but also for me.
arrived from Blick Art Supply. 9 x 12 drawing pad. Hard cover. I can write. draw. glue stuff in. I ordered 2, incase i have more than i think, and in case there's more time than there might be.
I like it a lot.
and i ordered drawing pencils, just the Blick brand, some for me, some to send to Julian. I like B's because i can smear the graphite, blurrrrr the lines. I need that. And first thing i noticed is that they are made in Czech Republic….how interesting since i spoke of my maternal immigrant grandmother as being from there……mother country pencils…..made where she was born……
many changes, many more to come. I really want that middle orange there but it's hard. Part of what i had in mind/heart was to use some scraps that i tend to avoid, scraps that are Scraps, not beauty Full fragments from Deb Lacativa, but some of the ton of just used clothing scraps that i brought home over time. I want to use them more. Make do. The orange is from a great india import skirt and i love how it faded and got marked on its own. I want it there but ……..
* forgot to say. it's called The Book of Now
