Some things shake you, tip you up by the toes and arrest you in your tracks. New additions to your world can do that, be it in miniature form or long limbed tallness. I had two days to rest and think, gaze at that sea and watch the earth's rotation, sunrise to sunset. Virus ridden, head woozy, legs frozen still, inactive. Yet the sound of the waves soothed and lulled as the mind sailed in and out of glorious sleep rich dreams, sun shine through sea clouds and shut tight eyelids, mildly aware of the passing days. Those wings are beginning to grow back, gliding me to a carved out cave made of his hope.

Come MAKE Books

'I loved our Wednesday evenings and learned so much, so quickly. Not just from Lucy, our amazing teacher, but from the way, everyone shared ideas, experiences and quality biscuits for eight, continuous and memorable weeks.'
(High praise indeed).
New Happy Year

For me the year of the Dragon brings/ standing in LoVe/ Godmother status (finally)/ a Book fair tour/ plenty more tap/ nights of long dark secret warmth/ letterpress printed editions/ lungfuls of sea air/slow H Van meandering/ new tiny lives/ stimulating collaborations/ NY ideas/ Brandy nightcaps/ poetic ambitions/ oh and a mane of red hair.
2012. The year of possibility.

New York I love you but you're bringing me down
But you're still the pool that I'd happily drown.
Perfect.

You Reap What You Sow
After weeks of sorting the tinniest to the most obscure orphaned letterpress type at the NY Center for Book Arts, I selected the font for my New York Intervention message, typeset, printed and distributed 90 cards (one for each day of my stay) around the beautiful city . They were the imprint I left behind, a gesture to the lessons learnt, and a little shock to those that don't expect to receive without giving.
