T is for Things
I walked into the front yard this morning to check the letterbox, and noticed that the stick that’s been poking out of the ground since we moved in has finally sprouted some leaves on one of it’s three tiny branches. Excited, I went over for a closer look and found a beautiful web in between forked branches at the top. So pretty. And what better way to introduce some of the work that I handed up on Wednesday!?!
This is the book I made to house my 42 things work. 42 lithographic prints that I talked about in this post.
Silhouettes of different, somewhat random things, some obvious, some not so obvious, all of their descriptions dependent on your perspective. Why 42? Because it’s the answer, of course.
I’m really happy with the clamshell box that I made to house the prints. It was a lot of work, but was definitely worth it… and I only made one major mistake, which I managed to disguise quite well… If anyone is interested, I followed an excellent tutorial that I found online to make it, minus the fancy measuring and cutting tools…
And despite the fact that they’re packaged up so beautifully in the box, I will be selling the prints individually in my Etsy store — I’ll add them gradually over the next couple of weeks. Unless, of course, one of you wants to make me an offer I can’t refuse on the whole set… (no, really — I could very much do with an offer I can’t refuse right now…)

Thanks for the info about the clamshell tutorial. I like that it is so detailed with lots of photos of the individual steps.
It’s a shame that you are going to have to sell those prints individually.
I don’t know how difficult or otherwise it would be, to find out if, for example, any museums like the Tate (who have a fab print collection) or the British Museum are: to approach as regards purchasing it. I can’t remember if you are based in Australia so big museums there might be a consideration to approach. If you do follow this suggestion, please do let me/us know how you get on ?
best wishes
