The new cover<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is an extra copy of one of my favorite, albeit somewhat depressing, books, The Hours<\/em> by Michael Cunningham, that has been used as a kind of sketchbook\/journal. Many of the pages are stitched together to give more support for paint.\u00a0 Other pages are left alone.<\/p>\n

Although I started this book some years back, I haven’t worked in it for a while. However, a few weeks back I rediscovered it and (as my bad back is preventing me from doing anything too much these days) decided to work in it again.<\/p>\n

I made a new cover for it that’s based on a digital collage I made using a photograph of a clock I took in London and a drawing. The image seems particularly appropriate being the book’s title and my ever-awareness of time ticking by. I scanned the collage, recolored it (the original close is blue), printed it on fabric, added some paint and stitch to it, and collaged it onto fabric\/paper to make the cover.<\/p>\n

The following are some of the pages in the book.<\/p>\n

Some of the pages are plain, some painted, many are stitched together using either a running or a blanket stitch and perle cotton thread.<\/p><\/div>\n

These pages are dated 2007.<\/p><\/div>\n

Also from 2007. This came with me on a trip to California, hence the bag from In N' Out Burger.<\/p><\/div>\n

He looks like a cutie here, but ...<\/p><\/div>\n

This expression gives a hint of how he can be a handful.<\/p><\/div>\n
