Following a New Year review I have decided that a visual blog may be the best way forward as 'Words don't come easily' Thinking all of time time , doing some of the time , always hopeful<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2865923528908371630-1214916096062294810?l=thedayinthelifeofabook.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vexed texthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03205786157393078654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865923528908371630.post-34001465040982365522008-02-05T11:26:00.000-08:002008-02-05T11:33:30.892-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DQXgXzdaROM/R6i56e8EINI/AAAAAAAAAAU/ZSSkydwaRmY/s1600-h/100_3675.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163581387168817362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DQXgXzdaROM/R6i56e8EINI/AAAAAAAAAAU/ZSSkydwaRmY/s320/100_3675.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />mini world<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2865923528908371630-3400146504098236552?l=thedayinthelifeofabook.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vexed texthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03205786157393078654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865923528908371630.post-75701444358968297802008-02-05T11:09:00.000-08:002008-02-05T11:22:29.155-08:00I can't believe that a blog entry takes so much thinking about. When it comes to it my head is so stuffed full that I can't take the lid off for fear of an explosion. The books are there, piled up in my studio, waiting, I keep dipping in to them and getting absorbed in to the pages but these books, unselected by me just are not turning me on. There are a few but what do I do with the rest? Will explore the nature of book as object.<br />Have been looking at alphabets, bifur and the bauhaus in particular. I just love this integrated graphic.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2865923528908371630-7570144435896829780?l=thedayinthelifeofabook.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vexed texthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03205786157393078654noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865923528908371630.post-62591147761714664772007-10-20T08:01:00.000-07:002007-10-20T08:12:49.609-07:00Time to sit, time to read and absorb.

A fit and appropriate place for absorbing more book related stuff. I am going to ask for an appointment with the librarian to discuss Dewey numbers for categorisation and to see what involvement I can get from contact with the library.<br />Many conversations with book lovers and ideas for the project which are gaining momentum.<br />My studio neighbour Mike Bartlett mentioned a book he had when he was a child. Inspired I managed to obtain it from Amazon- Looking and Finding by Geoffrey Grigson, circa1950's. It is a small red book with a nice feel, yellowing pages and tidy text with line drawing illustrations. All about collecting things and right up my street. I will let you know what little gems I find within. I have found something about maps and am now on the hunt for large scale ones- to do my own mapping. Pics to follow. signing off now as my 30min slot is coming to an end.<br />More later.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2865923528908371630-6309007524814361424?l=thedayinthelifeofabook.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vexed texthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03205786157393078654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865923528908371630.post-92074362850078907882007-09-21T15:44:00.000-07:002007-09-21T16:08:50.484-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DQXgXzdaROM/RvROy5R_PSI/AAAAAAAAAAM/4pxYpEfVn-w/s1600-h/000_0043.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112798113249049890" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DQXgXzdaROM/RvROy5R_PSI/AAAAAAAAAAM/4pxYpEfVn-w/s320/000_0043.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Having been offered loads of books that were destined to be pulped I am now in the enviable position of having some raw material with which to feed my book project.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>My first task is to take them to my studio which is an endurance issue.
