My new favourite thing: book making.

It's quite a long process, especially when using home made paper as well, but it's amazing to use a hardback book made completely by hand.

Just bought some fake leather to make some fancy new covers. And hopeful I could try embossing it as well.

This piece has had quite a drastic change. Originally it was a landscape, with strong shadows, which have now been outlined in bright white.

I am quite interested in the negative space created by shadows; I look forward to where this painting still might go.

The oxyacetylene gas welding workshop we did last week.

I don't know what I was thinking of making but it was a lot of fun to put together. Maybe I'll experiment more with sculpture in future.

A lot of burns on my hands though :(
