still working out on the porch

here's a bit of very recent 

contact printing

for me

(not for the HP project)

 here

the top is a silk cloth

the bottom is three long papers and a book

 long paper detail

 wolseley's book snuck in

and i couldn't help taking a photo

of my little prints hanging out with a page from landmarks 3. 

while doing this i'm pulling together my summer journal

trying to complete it.

working on the porch in very sweet weather.

it's called daylilies and songbirds 

and

 it's got bird prints and contact prints

shifu and kami-ito,

and even some kitikata and cotton,

and day lily prints and maybe a snake print, too.

and i'm beginning to put in my summer notes.

next time the book should/might come first

so the notes can live in there

day by day.

i am pretty excited about this one.

and may even finish sewing up the shiny book.

i'm learning an honesty i didn't know before

while dealing with local color 

trees and folks

(greed neighbors not being neighborly)

on this lovely lovely day.
