Sharpie pen in steno pad
The Stash
I ordered these from an Etsy seller. In total, 185 photos for $35 plus shipping (which was cheap). I’ve only taken a quick shifty through them, but they look to be mostly from the same family. Lots of WWII era photos. Lots of vacation photos. LOTS AND LOTS of picnic photos. A project is taking shape in my mind.
In Ether Clad: Bonus Pages
Fronticepiece and Title Page
Dim shadows musing dreamily
There have been wrecks
on smaller seas.
A moment’s light, a rayless tomb
A swallow darting through the room
He might have sailed
from star to star,
To find a port from which to start
We weigh the planets one by one
While spirits make
their nightly round
In Ether Clad
An alphabet book of collage with altered poems taken from Wallace Bruce’s In Clover and Heather
5 x 3 1/2 inches
16 signatures (32 pages)
140lb Cotman cold press watercolor paper Coptic bound with linen thread
The set is here. I had a few extra pages, so there are four bonus spreads. I’ll scan and post those tomorrow.
Z
collage
5 x 6 3/8 inches
Zone where once
the storm-ship used to ride
Safe sheltered here
from dark and angry skies
Aaaaaaand it’s FINISHED! I’ve got some touching up to do tomorrow on end papers and whatnot, and then I’ll take photos of the completed book.
Y
collage
5 x 6 3/8 inches
You reason in circles, to find at last
The inner world in the outer masked.
X
collage
5 x 6 3/8 inches
X is the Queen
of the evening star
and queen of the moon
I know by heart.
Barn and Flowering Locust
I pass this barn regularly. Every spring, I promise myself that I’ll stop and take a photo of it with the locust trees in bloom, and every spring, I forget for one reason or another. Today, I remembered.

The sordid sea
Watches me
And knows my only
Wishing dream
