I have loved bringing some of my booky works (old and new)
to the opening of the beautiful new Tura Marrang Library and Community Centre
in Tura Beach - far couth coast NSW

(ie just down the road a bit from my creek home)
The new space is featuring some of my book-boat images
and little book boats I've made
as well as a book boat building site
for library patrons to make some little paper book-boats
to add to the display
I've cheekily popped a few boats in odd places...
my video work looked FAB in the AV meeting room for opening day ceremonies...
but without a doubt my favourite thing
is how my 2 loooooooooooong books look
in the funny little wedge shaped display cabinet...

I love it when a plan that seems good in theory
actually comes together as hoped in practice

The long books are amazing, what patience to do all that stitching.
