So disappointed not to be able to make it to this fair. Alfie the dog is too unwell to travel.

Some p's & q's Press books that began with drawing in the museum and works in progress for 'Everything Changes' will be shown by me at Thame History Fair on Sunday 20th October, 10-4pm at Thame Town Hall. 

The exhibition 'Write-Cut-Rewrite' at the Weston Library, Oxford cheered me up. Don't expect to see anything like these sellotaped or stapled pages at Ludlow, but Christina Rossetti's cutout line of poetry makes her book look so elegant, it seemed to me that I was now allowed to make changes to a book at any stage. 

This scraped-away, once-utopian etching, created but not printed for 'The Monkeys' Dream' was changed with chine collé for a section of 'Everything Changes' entitled 'Fire-Flood'. I had to design it to slide into an envelope for this very tactile book. With other pages it will now also fit into a concertina spine to create a second version of the book. The title page is a work in progress. I was inspired at the Ludlow Fair by Sarah Amatts work. Suminagashi will be part of both versions of a book to be published in 2025.
