The Obsessive Nature of Editioning

I've got ten (but each "book" is 12 books) more books to make for "A Contemplation on the Obsessive Nature of Time," my flipbook, which you can see at my Etsy site or my website. First, I'm folding the covers, after I've cut them down. I Gocco printed them three at a time, January, February, and March for one set of covers, April, May, and June etc. Then I'm going to glue the covers to the books.

I've been working on the project since before my stroke. Yowsers! Right now I'm on September. The problem is I really don't like doing it. This is the first time I'm actually not having fun making the books. So I would love it, if people over the blogosphere would cheer me on! I'll post more updates on my progress!

Hi Nikki!

Last week I took a field trip down to Dartmouth College, and had the pleasure of showing off "Contemplation" to a high school student interested in book arts. What a treat! (She especially liked May...)

I'm so excited! Yea! And especially exciting that you were showing my book to a high school student. I like May too. I like Feb too because nothing happens. I finished Sept today and started on Oct.
