Sitting on the final elements for ages – I had gift wrap paper, and wanted the rough wrapped package aesthetic, and Made in Canada logos. Just muddling through the daze.

Last two pages, the interior of the Altered book is complete. Now, to figure out what to do with the cover, might have it done by 2025.

I fussed, fretted, and neglected my #AlteredBook project, until I lost track of what I posted and where the book ended up in my pile of projects, work materials, and should be trashed or used piles. Eventually found the book, sorted out what had not been yet posted, and completed the interior of the book – still pondering what to do with the cover (give me a few more days/months, I’ll get there eventually). Will now be able to get the rest of the interior posted, at least.
Blackout Poem:
a moment looked into eyes and
said softly, " No, you."
drew back harm and flung the pear
with
winking and glimmering setting
in
time.
the lovely green water
dropped to the bottom
waving branches
beckoned to the lights
on face
green and lovely
among
fern-like plants.
Above,
a green mirror
scampering
over a little cloud
drifted
and disappeared.
As mentioned in my intro, I've acquired too much material for my #ScannedCollages. I'm branching out with #AlteredBook #AsemblageArt. #Collage #CollageArt #Assemblage #Books #AlteredBookArt My first attempt at this goal has begun, and is definitely #WIP.
To begin with, I dove in head first, doing it my way (without tutorial instructions) - so it is definitely wrong & messy. The rough, messy look actually works (what else am I going to say?) with my #Dadaist style & #Asemic content. So far, it does not have that polished artistic antique Victoriana quality that seem to be typical of many of the examples I found.
I've incorporated #AsemicWriting, #AsemicPoetry, #DadaistPoetry #ErasurePoetry, #ProsePoetry & #CollagePoetry. I have kept the #Book's original #BlackandWhite #Illustrations.

#Intro #Introduction Well, here I am posting about #BookishThings. I joined a #Mastodon instance back in April of last year, when the threat of Muskification of Bird began looming on the horizon. By January of this year, I began thinking about the overabundance of material-topics I had for potential posting.
Three projects also came to mind. 1) A #TarotCard layout based on #Narrative #PlotLine. I've explored this idea using the #CelticCrossLayout, and will try to take it a bit further.

3) "Try to motivate my reading by using the #PicturePromptBingo #2023 to give me as much flexibility in choices." My #BookPile needs to get a small dent (at least). Picture Prompt bingo card a loosey-goosey#ReadingChallenge in which you match books that you’ve read to one of the pictures on the bingo card. The key thing is that you be as #creative in your #interpretation of the picture as you like. #BookChoice #Book #Prompt

So here I am - even more #SocialMedia activity as I fill time and a small part of the #Fediverse with talk #OfBookishThings.
