Despite my hella illness last week, I did work a bit on my bookmaking project. After some trial and error making my frames (2 inside each book) I finally went with an off white paper frame 1/2 in deep that is filled with acid free foam core.
The construction was a bit labor intensive, but enjoyable. I finished making the frames yesterday (14 in all, since I screwed up 2 of them early on) and made my third trip to Twin Rocker today.
On a side note, the trip to Twin Rocker isn’t quite as fun as it used to be, thanks to Not My Man Mitch and his “Major Moves” program where he steals people’s front yards to builds roads we don’t need. Not to mention wasting my gas while I sit in (unneeded) construction zones. The whole time change thing just wasn’t enough for him I guess. I won’t even start with the “In God We Trust” license plates. (grumble, grumble)
The book project will have to wait a few days though, as I am leaving tomorrow morning for the SNAG conference in Memphis, TN. We are staying in a sweet room at the Peabody Hotel, home of the daily duck march. I have never been to Memphis, and I could definitely use some time OUT of Lafayette…
