The winter weather has been dominating life here over the past few weeks. Thankfully we haven’t had terrible times but the snow, ice and rain have curtailed trips to the studio, where it was very, very cold and photography had to be fitted in when there was enough light.

I have been following up ideas for books which I have first sketched out in my notebooks, see previous blog here.
I had first thought that I would make three books without covers to be encased in a box together, then when I had completed them I changed my mind and put covers on them. I had made then out of Indian Cotton Rag paper and they were chunky and robust, so I felt that they stood well on their own.
They are called ‘Memories Held Within I, II, and III and the small printed fragments are from the plates that I made for the “Shape of Things” collaboration.
And here they are.
The second book has now been posted, there had been a delay because of problems with the International post from the UK. As I write the books are hopefully crossing each other in mid air!
So here are three teasers for Fiona.
