Unless he did the w/shops in other cities.... It's enough for me just to be reminded of that wonderful experience, those happy days of discovery.<br />And as for India Flint discovering/inventing new folds: she makes everything look new & exciting. There's something in her hands & brain that changes cloth & paper into a sort of exquisite light - alchemy I think.

In the class was a book artist from Brisbane who was quite interested in what keith meant by 'single sheet coptics' --- photos were exchanged and what do you know --- adele outteridge had separately and simultaneously come up with essentially the very same idea/technique. synchronicity. pre-internits synchronicity. Adele called what she was making 'single sheet binding' which keith duly acknowledges (he even dedicated the book to her)--- keith also mentions that its quite possible that her methods are superior (or at least or equal to) everything he shares in Vol. IV. onya keithy <br /><br />its a nice tale don't you think? its a reminder that it IS very possible to simultaneously work something out fresh and new while sitting within a grander narrative - that synchronicity happens. and that sharing and crediting (when known or knowable) is what the nicest people do. onya india xxxx<br /> ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260679591630131813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786182111675568241.post-60624992545285796532017-03-16T23:33:15.524+11:002017-03-16T23:33:15.524+11:00I gave that fold (the river book) a name because (...I gave that fold (the river book) a name because (I thought) I had invented it (in 2013, or thereabouts).

I just devoured The Broken Shore by Peter Tempple - first of his books that I've read, although I don't think all of them are written in the same style as this one - and loved it. I picked up the Joshua Yeldham book at the AGNSW and drooled over it! But I decided that following him on Instagram is enough :-) I stole a quiet hour yesterday evening after the fireflies had gone, looking through Sarah Raven's The Cutting Garden, and Joy Larcom's books on veggie gardening as I've just finished a new raised veggie bed at the back of the house. They're aspirational as well as inspirational - I doubt whether I will manage to be quite as productive or beautiful in the new patch, but it's nice to dream...
