More postcards!

I've just mailed two new postcards for this week. One is off to New York in the USA, the other to Poland. It's getting harder to keep them unique, but hopefully these are enjoyed.

Books2Eat Fundraiser

I have been busy folding, cutting and gluing books to create sculptures for the upcoming Library fundraiser Books2Eat this Friday April 13th. It is a fabulous event for which local chefs create dishes inspired by the written word, which guests get to sample. This year I am making the table centre pieces. I never imagined how fun this project would turn out to be! I am learning about the different papers that books are printed on and how older book pages can literally crumble when folded. The biggest challenge has been to keep them unique and interesting and of course to link the design with the book title. It has been nice to get sculpting again since lately I've only been working in two-dimensions, especially with my postcard project.

It is a really fun night, so get your tickets before they sell out again like last year!

Traveling postcards

Here are a couple of new postcards that I'm sending out through Postcrossing.com. The stamp-filled one is destined for The Netherlands and the bird one is off to Russia. Hopefully they travel fast and are enjoyed.

Book Art

I've been blown away with inspiration and awe after finding the most amazing book artist. Check out artist Brian Dettmer and his amazing carved books. I've never before seen anything quite as complex and as intricate carved into books. So impressive and inspiring!

I've been continuing on with my library- catalogue-index-cards postcard project and last week I sent off two cards through postcrossing.com and one to a friend in the UK. This red woven card was sent to Poland. The pink textured one below went off to Arizona in the USA and the blue card with the Queens head stamps went off to London, England. Hopefully they all arrive soon and don't get lost in the post!

I'm excited about trying some simple book folding and carving, but mine will be extremly simple! I'll post pictures if any of my scultptural experiments turn out alright.    Lily
