She had a number of felted products at her table and I asked if she could make me some felt for covers. After a number of discussions and samples we came to an agreement on a felt that works with the book covers. The felt is Alpaca wool over merino wool. The first two I made were shades of green, one of which was sold this past weekend and will be making its way to Alberta for Christmas. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fresh spring evenings rolled into summer's hot, sultry days have now fallen into autumn. I spent time in Toronto this summer and autumn, visiting the Distillery District, a fabulous arts district and the CN Tower. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was very hot on the day I went to the CN Tower. I was told there was a 90 minute wait just to get on the elevators to get to the top. Given the heat and number of people in line, I decided I would view this amazing tower from the ground. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was not the only one to do this. There was a nice breeze blowing off the lake, so it was cooler on the ground. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In October I visited Toronto again and this time I went up to the top of the tower. The elevator trip takes 15 seconds, covering a distance of 114 floors. I felt my ears popping as we raced upward. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Looking down through the glass floor was a very interesting sensation. Definitely not a view for anyone who experiences vertigo. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the sculpture that greets ball players and ball enthusiasts to the park. It is very large and is projecting out of the side of the building. When I looked up it brought a smile to my face. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Leaving the Tower behind I headed to the harbour front - Queen's Quay. This is one of my favourite places in the city. There are little art galleries and artist-in-residence studios. There is a gallery where one can walk and watch the artists at work. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was fascinated by the ropes that tied down the ship. I wondered how heavy they were and how much strength was required when tying down the ship. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From here I headed over to the Distillery District. I got off the bus too soon and wandered around a bit. The good thing was I found these beautiful, colourful murals on the overpass supports. They were done for the PanAm games which took place in Toronto. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The fine detail in each unique mural was a pleasure to look at. It certainly brightened up the area. As I wandered farther along I came across another beautiful piece of art which extended the length of a street. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I found this sculpture fascinating because it depicted a neighbourhood much different from the one I was walking in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally I arrived at the Distillery District. This area was once a Distillery which has now been converted into shops, artist's studios and art galleries. The distillery structures have been preserved and it adds to the experience. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is a very interesting sculpture at the heart of the district. If one is arriving in Toronto from the east, by train, they can see this structure from the train. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My friend, Catherine, lost her mother very suddenly this past summer. Catherine works with people who are grieving from loss. We had talked a number of times about memory boxes and how they could be used in her work. When I heard of her mother's passing I made a memory box for Catherine. </span><br />

I asked if I could photograph some of the pieces and then write fictional stories about each piece. The dates of the pieces of jewellery ranged from 1800 to 1920. One piece was from the 1950's, but was an art deco reproduction. There are eleven pieces of jewellery, each with an accompanying story. This is a limited edition of 10 with 8 remaining. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the first piece in the book. It is a platinum, diamond and pearl brooch. Such a beautiful piece of jewellery. Here is the story that I wrote to go with it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>I AM IZADORA</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Black, work wearied hands pulled us raw from the red muck of the South African diamond mine. We were destined for fame and we found our first home in the halls of an African Berber Sultan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We travelled north, moving from hand to hand, protected in leather pouches and sheltered in tents. We traversed the continent on the backs of men; across the savannah in locked train compartments; and in trade caravans to the jewellers market in Fez. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were appreciatively fondled by the skilled hands of Mehmet, the Arab gem carver He cleaved, cut and polished our exterior until our natural inner beauty shone. We were many - 60 in all; our sizes from fine chips to bountiful carats. He put us away, back in the dark, saving us for the right time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sultan Abd al-Rahman had commissioned Mehmet to create a dynamic piece of jewellery for his son Mohammad's coming of age celebration. Being influenced by the European designs of the time, Mehmet's jewellers created a beautiful brooch. I am called Izadora and young Mohammed will wear me for special ceremonies and celebrations throughout his reign. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Upon the death of his father Mohammed became Sultan. Many years later he gifted me to a visiting dignitary who exhibited me at World Fairs and wore me to official events. It is said that when a beautiful piece of jewellery is made it becomes the possession of the owner; over time the jewellery becomes the possessor. I have possessed fine chests and throats of men and women around the world and today I find myself basking in the warm lights and soft interior of a showcase in Alyea's Jewellers, in Ottawa waiting to possess once again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>CLARO BLUE AQUA MARINA </i></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is post-war and the western world is slowly getting back to normal. There is still fighting in the Far East. Better times prevail and greater opportunities for a fresh new start in life exist for some, while others move forward with caution Our story is about opportunity, and passion between Lidia Longing and Lord Harry Hardington. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started my journey as one and became a group of seven. I am a large aquamarine gemstone, cut from the walls of the Navigator mine in the mountains of Brazil, near the town of Galiléia. I was found in the mountains, yet I am named for the sea. Bundled up, I was sent jostling down the mountainside, on the back of a donkey. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lord Harry and Lidia had a tumultuous relationship, you might say, on-again or off-again. It was at an off-again time that Lord Harry felt a shiny new bauble would put him back in Lidia's good graces. She had exceptional taste and he loved to see the sparkle in her lovely aqua blue eyes, when he gave her gifts of beauty. He sometimes wondered if he didn't start arguments just to see them sparkle. It was most fetching and arousing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The gemstone graders received me with great enthusiasm because of my exceptional size, transparency and colour. I became a traveller: moving from the Jewellers Fair in Rio de Janeiro, then eastward to Bernd Munsteiner's lapidary shop in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. Once again I found myself in the mountains, the Hunsrück mountains this time. Master Munsteiner spent many hours looking at me from different angles: in natural and in artificial light. After a very thorough examination he cut me precisely into seven stones. It is here that I became we. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cut, polished and packaged, we journeyed westward to Amsterdam and found ourselves in the House of Levi, a diamond merchant. Toni Cavelti, the famous Canadian jeweller discovered us here and purchased us along with nine brilliant cut and twelve baguette cut diamonds. Wrapped and cushioned we travelled westward again to his workshop in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was in this shop that Lord Harry Hardington commissioned Toni to make a brooch for his paramour, the beautiful and very talented Lidia Longing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Knowing the exact amount of precision and detail Toni put into his designs, Lord Harry requested a brooch replicated from the Art Deco period. Toni spent a number of hours drawing brooch designs, finally settling on one. He set us in platinum, like a ray of warm blue sunshine over diamond sparkling waters. Lord Harry expressed his delight in the exquisite perfection of the brooch and he set off to see Lidia, with brooch in hand. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She received Lord Harry with calm coolness, wondering why he was calling when they were not really seeing each other. She offered him tea, but seemed distracted. "I know I should have called first," said Lord Harry. "Yes," she replied. Lord Harry gently placed the velvet jewel box on the table beside Lidia's porcelain teacup. She left it there for the longest time, looking at him with questioning eyes. "I'm sorry," said Lord Harry. She gave him a warm smile, reaching for the box. Her beautiful blue eyes sparkled when she saw us. Lord Harry was forgiven once again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have been to many soirees with Lidia and Lord Harry. They remained a couple, never marrying; she preferring to keep her independence. We stayed with them until Lidia's passing. Lord Harry returned the piece to Toni and asked him to find us a new home. We spent time in the estate showcase of Birks Jewellers in Montreal and after a number of owners, we found our way into the estate showcase at Alyea's Jewellers in Ottawa. We are still beautiful, yet older, and wiser, and we wait patiently for a new home. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are nine more pieces of jewellery and their stories in the book. I had a great deal of fun writing the stories and creating this book. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Completed and closed up, I used mylar at the front of each tunnel. I wrote the following quotes on each panel: a) "A room without books is like a body without a soul." b) "Food for the body is not enough There must be food for the soul." c) "Go soul, the body's guest, upon a thankless errand. Fear not but touch the best, the truth Shall be thy warrant." d) "The body was never a free gift, it gives temporary shelter to our aspirations on a finite lease. We try to preserve and commemorate its tenure." and f)" The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and the spirit heals with joy." When the lid is removed the mylar falls forward like skin being peeled back. </span></div>

Quite a while ago I was given this wooden knot from a tree, in the shape of a heart.

The snow was washed away with the rain, the birds have come out to play and the geese are floating on the open water. It is a time of renewal outside and in the studio. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My granddaughters' birthdays are coming up again. The eldest just turned nine and I made a couple of accordion books for her about her great grandmother. I feel it's important to know from what roots we descend. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The youngest will have her birthday later on this summer, but I am ahead of the game this year. Her dad says she likes to sing, so I wrote a little poem and made an artist book for her. I called it <i><b>Renna Songbird.</b></i> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This past Sunday, Valentine's Day, </span>I attended the Eros 2016 exhibit vernissage at the Arbor Gallery in Vankleek Hill, just outside of Ottawa. My artist book, Arc of Desire, was chosen to be part of this group exhibit. Regardless of the cold weather, the event was very well attended. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This book was in the making over approximately three years. Every time I found a quote, or the lyrics to a song that I felt would fit into the book, I filed it away. I wrote a few fictional narratives and at the beginning of last year I decided to see if I had enough material to make the book. When I started to put it together, all the pieces fell nicely into place, each piece complementing the previous one. I made a limited edition of six books. The covers are hand dyed and the materials I used in making the book include, water colour paper, pigment pen drawings around photocopied anatomy pictures, leather, rabbit fur, and polymer clay. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The cover is hand dyed water colour paper. There is a hole though the center of the book in which the phallus passes through and acts as the closure. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the opening piece, I used a quote from The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell, "</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">People say that what
we’re all seeking is a meaning for life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that what we’re seeking is an
experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical
plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that
we actually feel the rapture of being alive."</i><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I found an old book on Anatomy for Artists and photocopied some of the pieces. Then I enhanced them with my drawings. I created a master copy and then photocopied it for the blank books. The text in each book is handwritten, not photocopied. The quote on this enhanced page is by Ester Perel,</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mating in Captivity<i>,</i></span></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Eroticism reveals to

<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is one of the fictional narratives that I wrote. The theme of the exhibit was first love, one true love. The narratives I wrote were from the perspective of a couple remembering their first love. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My sister celebrated a milestone birthday on Valentine's Day. When I was visiting her in November we took a walk down memory lane and talked about the friends we had when we were teenagers. As we shared our experiences with one another, she made some of her favourite tea for us. In thinking about a birthday present for her, I decided to make a Japanese hidden compartment box. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I covered it with silver Japanese paper and put wooden feet on the box. I used a small cluster of quartz crystals and a glass heart for the top of the box. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the first two compartments I created Past and Present sections. I used parchment paper for the covers and did some paper cutting. Under the Past compartment, I put in a story I had written about an experience we had one evening while walking home from the village we lived near. In the Present compartment I put some specialty tea samples. </span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the hidden compartment, I put the Future. In a conversation we had, during my visit, she said she would like to take six months and travel Route 66. In this compartment I put a map of the Route and the lyrics to the song, Get your Kicks on Route 66. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Happy New Year. We have turned another corner into a new year, new possibilities and new creations. I am happy to say I am starting out my year with one of my artist books being selected for an exhibit. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>EXHIBIT</i></b> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The exhibit is Eros 2016, an exhibition of erotic art, at the Arbor Gallery <b><a href="http://www.arborgallery.org/exhibition.php?id=142">http://www.arborgallery.org/exhibition.php?id=142</a></b> in Vankleek Hill, Ontario. It is about one hour south of Ottawa. The exhibit runs from February 10 to March 13, 2016. Once the exhibit has opened I'll post pictures of the book. Better yet, come out and meet the artists and see our work on February 14th for the vernissage from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>NEW WORK </i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's been a long time since I posted any work. I have started out this new year with some new pieces of work. I made a book last year using stained glass for the covers. I was quite happy with the outcome and have decided to do some more. These books tend to be a little bit heavier than normal and they need to be handled with tender loving care. They would be great as a guest book, wedding album, sketch book, family memory book or a special journal. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made a clam shell box for the stained glass covered book. <i><b></b></i>I used a green metallic paper with a black background. It matched the glass covers quite nicely. </span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I lined the interior of the box with a quilted satin material. I purchased this material a long time ago to make myself a vest, which never materialized. I have put it to good use in the boxes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This stained glass has a lot of texture to it and the veins of colour go from a deep green to a very light green. It reminds me of a steep lush green mountain. The inside of the covers are very smooth to the touch. The spine is stamped cowhide. The text block is 70 lb/114g Canson drawing paper. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The spine is the same leather that I used on the outside of the clam shell box and the glass covers have a soft texture. The pinkish./beige and white colors are splashed through the transparent glass. The text block is 70 lb/114g Canson drawing paper. Each page has a die cut on it. This book measures 6 x 4 3/4 x 1 1/4 inches/15.2 x 1.1 x 3.2 cm.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dog days of summer are upon us. We have had an amazingly hot and humid two weeks in Ottawa with evening showers, just enough to keep the grass green and the trees clean. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">THE SECRET GARDEN </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been thinking about making a secret garden for a while now. A fellow artist gave me a beautiful piece of Chinese paper depicting a community celebration. There was such joy in this paper when I handled it. I used this paper to make the secret garden. It seemed to dictate the type of garden I would make, not what I had in mind, but still a beautiful garden. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This side of the box has a water scene, two small boats on the water, a pagoda and a hut in either corner.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I designed and bound two books that went to the Artist Book Exhibit at Cuesta College in California. The theme for the first one was reflection. One of my students gave me a small piece of mirrored paper and I found some at the local art store. I like to photograph reflections and I decided to put the two elements together. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hand dyed the pages and then suspended the photographs in the center of each page. Each photograph was backed with the mirrored paper so that it would reflect the image on the opposite page - the viewer gets a reflection of a reflection. It is great fun leafing through this book and seeing these reflections. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>SHE ZINE</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A couple of years ago I ventured into the world of zines. In my mind I was going to make a typically small zine, just to see how it felt. Well, to my surprise, I created a much larger piece that I really like and is now a part of my personal collection. I made one copy of it for a friend. As the images started to appear, the title, 'She Zine', exposed itself. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an accordion book and the pages have been glued to Fabriano card stock. I used India ink pens to draw the images and India ink brush pens to color the images. The text throughout the book is handwritten and there is one line on each page. </span> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one of the books in the collection, taken by Frederic Dekkel, a professional Photographer. It appeared on my promotional cards. This book included tunnel, pop-up and accordion techniques. I used balsa wood for the hands and lined each hand with a wood textured Lokta paper. Included in this piece were photographs of trees and foliage and the front doors to a building at the Arboretum in Ottawa. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was another exhibit I had at the Arts Ottawa East Gallery, called, 'Couples.' A while back I had a student who was telling me about her challenges with dating. She said one fellow told her he was a 'confirmed bachelor.' We had a good chuckle about that and when I went home I started wondering what it meant to be a confirmed bachelor. Who did the confirming? What did it actually mean to be a confirmed bachelor? What were the rules? This got me thinking about couples and how we define couples. As a result, I created a number of books and story rooms around couples. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hand wrote the text for this book. I did a maquette first to make sure I could do the drawings and cut outs and calculate the number of pages it would take. I wanted to make sure the images would correspond with the written text. I used India ink brush pens for the colour in the cut outs and drawings. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>VENUS FLY TRAP AND THE FLY </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was experiencing a bit of creative lethargy at one point in designing pieces for this exhibit. I was telling a friend about it and she suggested Venus Fly Trap which fit very well with the couples theme<b> </b>when I included the fly. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found two poems online, one from the perspective of the fly and the other from the perspective of the Venus Fly trap. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These were so much fun to make. I used an image transfer method to transfer the text into the fly traps, porcupine quills were used for the hairs and I used two dried acorns for the bodies of the flies with textured leather for the wings. The paper was hand dyed and coated with a gel gloss. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">It
was an autumn day; a fresh aroma the air. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Breathing
in deeply, I was trapped in a snare. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">How
was I loured into this dangerous trap, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I
was not looking or even aware. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There
was a sweet sticky dew tasting like mead, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This
honey nectar turned my head to greed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Losing
control I was going out of my mind, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In
a strange flower bed, I left my world behind. </span></div>

am floating eagerly down a rainbow stream.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Tender
fresh flesh standing bold and proud, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Attracting
prey with her bright coloured shroud. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Giving
in freely, about to be devoured. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My
censors telling me I was being deflowered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">

were silky soft hairs all over my skin, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Is
a shocking end about to begin? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If
no one had noticed I was ensnared in this place, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It
may have all ended in humiliation and disgrace. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now
in so deep I have lost all self control, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It
was as if a demon had stolen my soul. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Just
then a watchful serpent raised its head, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Looking
straight at me it hissed and said. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">“I
can see you; you have had your fun, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now
it is time to pay, or get out and run.” </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Shocked
out of the dream, I saw my plight, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">What
he said was true, I made my flight. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Lucky
to escape, my advice is here, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If
you see a Venus Flytrap, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 297.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">STAY
CLEAR. </span></div>

May is Tulip month and we have a fantastic tulip festival. There are many different types of tulips which are interesting to see and photograph. The colours are beautiful and sometimes delicate. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Tuesday, I went to the beach. It was such a lovely spring day and the temperature was rising. The big fluffy clouds were floating around in the sky chasing the sun. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The trees, with their interesting blooms, were gently blowing in the wind. The leaves were rattling to the beat of the waves lapping at the shore. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trees, trees, trees. I grew up in the country on a big lake, surrounded by trees. When I left home for the first time, I found it very difficult to get to sleep without the sound of the wind in the trees. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Down at the beach there are some very old trees with their roots exposed to the elements. I find them quite beautiful and enjoy photographing them. </span> <br /><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I find it interesting how much the grain and smooth surfaces of these old roots look like the images on topographical maps. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>NEW BOOKS </b></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This winter I experimented with wood covers. I started out trying wood carving and found it was not to my liking. So I decided to do 'au naturel' wood covers, using the grain, bark and uneven edges to create covers. I am very happy with the final outcome. I experimented with pine, curly maple and aromatic cedar. I used heavier, coloured papers in these books because the covers are heavy. They are very complementary. <i><b> </b></i></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-T7dU1mxhf5eWJr2fPqZ-e7GiY6s1BEhZSqrzhWJ1weSnHI2RymjXJlwVVQ2KTHtu5-I-9n90c678XkKP5WS9PgEA0HxkPE_6-60OP7XkOLMjBXzK_ULlDkrzLrqNFQ4kwUklL6BqnFsG/s1600/Copy+of+Pine.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-T7dU1mxhf5eWJr2fPqZ-e7GiY6s1BEhZSqrzhWJ1weSnHI2RymjXJlwVVQ2KTHtu5-I-9n90c678XkKP5WS9PgEA0HxkPE_6-60OP7XkOLMjBXzK_ULlDkrzLrqNFQ4kwUklL6BqnFsG/s1600/Copy+of+Pine.JPG" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are pine boards. Sanding and creating rounded edges and corners was very easy to do with this wood as it is quite soft. It has a very gentle grain in it and when I stained the wood, the grain made an appearance. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These book covers are made from curly maple. A much harder wood to work with. It took a little more power to sand down, but the exposure of the curly grain in the wood was well worth it. The grain is a blond colour and when the wood is stained, the blond grain really stands out. I used marbled paper for fly leaves in the one journal, giving the spine a colourful look. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another curly maple covered book. As you can see, I left the irregular foredge in place with parts of the bark. There was also a long scar at the spine which added a nice contrast to the light streaks of grain. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the benefits of using
the heavier paper inside the books was it allowed for paper cutting
decorations. The contrast between the different coloured papers made it
more interesting. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These curly maple covers came with a curved edge which I wanted to preserve. I carved into the grain of these covers giving it a look of flames coming up from the base of the board. It was a pleasure to run my hand over the carved wood - telling a different tale from the smooth covered ones. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to see if I could bind the wooden covers in ways other than Coptic binding. This is the first one I tried. I used suede leather for the spine. It worked quite well with the pine boards. </span> <br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the aromatic cedar. It was such a pleasant experience working with this wood. First of all, the smell was magnificent. The wood is soft, so very easy to sand and round edges and corners. As you can see there was a big knot hole in the front cover which I left in. The grain in this wood is very strong and the colour is similar to oxblood red. I used a cherry stain which enhanced the grain further. I only sealed the outside of these boards, leaving the inside sanded, but not sealed, in order to maintain the beautiful scent. I believe bugs would not bother this book. It's quite a large book measuring 12 x 11 3/4 (at the widest part) x 1 3/8 inches (30.2 x 28.6 x 3.5 cm). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the back of the cover and you can see a portion of another knot hole in the wood. The boards were wider at the bottom than at the top and it makes for a very interesting shape. Definitely not a book for someone who likes perfect squares. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a heavy parchment paper for fly leaves for each signature in this book and did some paper cutting on them. Some pages have borders and others have designs in the center of the page. I alternated red and neutral coloured threads in the binding. </span><br />

I had been given these beautiful fish paper cuttings quite a number of years ago and had never found the right book to put them in. They worked perfectly well with the binding and the beautiful handwriting samples. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"> One of the samples in this group is a post card written by Edith Hagemeister from Flensburg to her son Rudy in Jena, East Germany, in 1939. The handwriting is very unique. An English explanation is provided by her granddaughter, Edith Pahlke from Ottawa. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ottawa is known for the Rideau Canal, now a Heritage site. In the summer it is boating, kayaking, canoeing and in the winter, its skating. You can see the Chateau Laurier at the end of the canal and beyond that is the beautiful Ottawa river. As Old Man Winter continues to pummel us with his cold weather, the skaters are enjoying a very long season of skating. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The handwriting samples are slowly coming in and as they do I have been challenged to create new ways of binding them. The challenge really is about binding a small number of pages. I am having fun with it. </span><br />

<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></b>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a fun book to make; one I teach in my classes. One of my students brought me this bag from a popular coffee shop. I really like the graphics on the bag and there is one written word among all the printed letters. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This book was challenging because some of the hand written samples I received were on post cards. I had to design the pages in such a way that the viewer could see both sides. I laminated each sample and using silver thread, stitched them into the pages so they were suspended. I mixed up the paper, using Strathmore water colour paper and St. Armand flax paper. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a very curious person; always wanting to know how things are made and how they work. I took apart an old computer keyboard and found the most interesting things inside. The cover of this book is one of the sheets of connectors which I cut in half and had laminated.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>365 DAYS OF HANDWRITING </em></strong> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This project has started off with a lot of support and well wishes. I have completed the handwriting sample books for the first two weeks of 2014. In week one, instead of creating the book using only the samples in a vertical or horizontal designation, I decided to work with both and create the book around them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided on an accordion book binding. I mounted each handwriting sample on Fabriano card stock and created a pocket, for each sample, from the same card stock. The samples slide comfortably into a pocket, so when the book is closed, all is neatly packed away. When the book is open, some of handwriting from each sample may be seen, through the design I created, in the front of each sleeve. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used Strathmore Water Colour paper for the cover and pages of this book. The binding is long stitch and I used Canson paper for the tabs. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For each sample I used the Canson paper and created a simple 'book-within-a-book' type of effect. I wrote the name and location of each contributor on the outside leaf of the sample. When viewed, the viewer first sees who contributed the sample and where she or he is located. Upon opening the leaf, the viewer is introduced to the handwriting sample. I used both vertical and horizontal samples in this book, so when viewed it has to be turned to read some of the samples. </span><br />

<strong><em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">PHOTOGRAPHIC DIALOGUE</span></em></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 2013 I participated in a year long project called Photographic Dialogue, with Ginger Burell. She started the project by sending us (25 project participants) a photograph one week and the following week we responded with one of our photographs; no words were allowed, nor could we talk about the picture. The project is now complete, except for the making of the book. This past month I have worked on my maquette for the book. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The cover of the book is made from St. Armand flax paper and lined with Canson sketch paper. Straps circle the book and have red leather ends. I braided waxed cotton thread for the closures and used a long stitch binding. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used Strathmore Watercolour paper for the signatures and Fabriano parchment paper to cover one of the photos. When opened, one sees a photograph and the hint of another photograph through the parchment. When the partchment is lifted the dialogue is exposed. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the book has a light coloured cover and white pages I decided to create a clam shell box for protection. I covered the box with amate paper (Mexico), a gift from a student, and lined the inside with Lokta paper (Nepal).</span><br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial;">COURSES AND WORKSHOPS </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Japanese Bound book and the Box making workshops were well attended and students went home with some beautifully crafted books and boxes. The next course is in <em>March: Print Making, Letter Press and Bookbinding, </em>followed by<em> Decorated Paper and Flowers and Folding books. </em>These workshops will take place in late March at the Ottawa School of Art, Orleans campus at the Shenkman Arts Centre. Registration for these workshops is through the Ottawa School of Art. <em> </em></span><br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial;">PRINT MAKING, LETTER PRESS AND BOOKBINDING COURSE </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">March 10th to the 14th, at the Ottawa School of Art, George Street Campus, myself and Guillermo Trejo, a printmaker at the School, are offering a one week course in print making, letter press and bookbinding. Participants will spend the first two and a half days learning print making and letter press and with their final results, they will make a limited edition of books, which they will bind in the last two and a half days. The class is limited to eight participants. Registration for this class is through the Ottawa School of Art. Come out and join us for a week of creative fun.....</span><br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">EXHIBITS</span></em></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">WARMTH, a group exhibit at the Cube gallery, is now open and will close on March 2, 2014. I have a book in the exhibit called: The Cremation of Sam MacGee. It is a double accordion book with a barge for the front cover and the stern of a sailboat for the back cover. The vernissage was well attended. I met some of the other artists and had interesting discussion with people who were curious about the book and how it was made. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an aerial view of the book. I used Fabrian card stock for the accordion portion of the book. I used photographs from the arctic in response to the cold that Sam MacGee endured while moiling for gold. Photographs of summer days and flowers were used to depict Sam's home in the south where it was warm. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one side of the double accordion book. I had a great deal of fun putting this together and the poem, The Cremation of Sam MacGee, by Robert Service, has been a favourite of mine since learning it in school, as a child. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">That is all for now. I hope you are enjoying our pleasant weather and bright sunlight. Spring is just around the corner. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Students have been asking me about making a portfolio presentation case for their portfolios. At first I wasn't sure what this entailed. Once I did some research, I created three different styles of portfolio presentation cases. This one has a three-sided envelope inside. The sides are flexible and made to accommodate a number of pieces in different sizes. Once tied, the art work remains in place. I covered this one with hand marbled paper by a marbler in the city. I used book cloth for the spine and to join the envelope pieces. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I lined the inside of the covers and box with a copper foil decorative Japanese paper. The box is covered with a textured decorative paper that compliments the unfinished canvas. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a red and gold ribbon for closure. This is the Portfolio Presentation Case that I will be teaching on four Monday evenings, starting November 18th and finishing on December 9th. This mini-course will be offered at the Ottawa School of Art, Shenkman Arts Centre campus. If you are interested in attending, registration is through the Ottawa School of Art - course cost $150 plus the cost of supplies - $25 - $40 depending on the needs - based on the size of one's portfolio. I will also demonstrate how this case may be sectioned to accommodate different sizes of work in a portfolio. This case can also be used by collectors for special pieces and of course. for book lovers. I have put three journals in the different cases that I have made. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been playing around with different stitchings and bindings. I find the straight stitching on the single signature books quite boring and so my boredom led to the creation of a new decorative binding. I call it 'corn cob' binding because it looks like two rows of corn on a cob. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This year I have been making large journals. I am getting great pleasure out of creating a full-bodied journal that is substantial and feels good when held. I have also been experimenting with different papers for the text blocks. I have used a beautiful Ingres paper by Fabriano in two shades of blue, Fabriano writing paper and Strathmore sketch paper in grey and beige tones. The Strathmore paper is heavier and gives the journals a weighted elegance. I have used both leather and paper covers for these journals. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was looking through my different pieces of art work this past week and came across two photographs that I had done on fine art paper.

<span style="font-family: Arial;">This book was initially created in response to a call for art representing the human figure. It is two accordion books joined back-to-back. One end of the book has five female figures and one side of the book has the poem: Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou. The other cover of the book has five male figures. The poem: To Lou Adreas-Solome, by Rainer Rilke is on the other accordion book. I used photographs on both sides of the accordion folds - soft curves for the diva and angular curves for the bachelor. I decided not to submit the book to the first call when I was told that it didn't have enough of the human figure showing in the piece. I then submitted it to the Fritizi Gallery in response to a call out. The piece of art was to be in response to a play - modern version of Othello. I received a letter stating it was a very good match for the play, however, because the gallery is an open space there was concern that the book would be stolen. So alas, I have this beautiful double accordion book which will now be the first piece in a series of books. Watch for the complete series next year. </span><br />

The interior has three compartments. There are 20 blank notes with envelopes in the right and left hand side boxes. The center box is for writing instruments. I used a combination of floral designed papers and an elegant gold designed paper. A touch of class with a little fun around the edges. In the left and right hand boxes I incorporated a piece of paper from the corners - just had to bring the fun inside. This box measures 13.25 X 7.25 x 2 inches (33.6 x 17.8 x 5 cm).</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Japanese Hidden Compartment Box is one box. When opened one way, it has one compartment and when turned around and opened, it has two compartments. This is a fascinating box and it makes a beautiful gift. In making this box, there are four boxes, each with a lid. I used beautiful Japanese papers to cover it and used four wooden beads for the feet. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am starting off 2013 with my Book Arts exhibit, A Show of Hands. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you are a book lover, curious about how books are made or enjoy different art forms, then this is an exhibit you won’t want to miss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary Kritz is a bookbinder, book artist, photographer and artist and incorporates these elements into her book designs and creations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She teaches Creative Bookbinding and Book Arts at the Ottawa School of Art’s <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">George Street</st1:address></st1:street> and Orléans campuses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This past summer, while working on a book, she realized she was watching her hands at work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thinking about the importance of hands and the activities carried out by them, she asked herself how she could turn the idea into a book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Combining a sense of humour and play on words, she designed a set of eight books, called, “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Show of Hands</i></b>.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></b>This is an exhibit that will appeal to people of all ages. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kritz is known for using different materials in her books and for this set of eight books she has used clay, cloth, wood, paper, terra skin and acrylic. The books are shaped in hands, surrounded by hands and supported by hands, and incorporate photographs of hands performing different activities, with images relevant to the narrative in each book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She embroidered the cloth, inscribed Sumerian hieroglyphs into the clay and turned wood, paper and acrylic into accordion books, flag books and tunnel books with pull-outs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She combined<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>tunnel, pop-up and accordion book techniques into one book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kritz provides an opportunity for viewers to interact with one of the books called, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tell Me a Story</i></b>, which consists of six shaped acrylic hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each hand sits in a stair in an acrylic staircase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Viewers are invited to use their hands to play with the notion of a non-traditional book form by changing the order and content of the book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Words may be hung on the fingers and thumbs of the hands or placed on or around the staircase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When viewers hang the double-sided words on fingers and thumbs two different stories emerge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This exhibit challenges our understanding of what a book is and how it functions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each book’s narrative invites the viewer in to wonder about and interpret the story being presented through visual images rather than words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The acrylic book, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tell Me a Story,</i></b> provides a unique and unusual opportunity by<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></b>inviting the viewers to interact with and create their own story, thus changing the previous artist’s story and becoming the artist and narrator in that moment of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Hands were shaped into symbols we use everyday to communicate with one another. I used a heat gun to shape the acrylic. A great learning moment. </span><br />

<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BOOK DISPLAY: CUMBERLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I was invited to display my books in the vitrine at the Cumberland Public Library. On December 31st, I set up the display. I broke it into three sections: Bookbinding, Box Making and Artist Books. A selection of books on bookbinding and artist books from the library was included in the display. They have a great selection of books on bookbinding for adults and children. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you are a book lover, curious about how books are made or enjoy different art forms, then this is an exhibit you won’t want to miss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary Kritz is a bookbinder, book artist, photographer and artist who incorporates these elements into her book designs and creations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She teaches Creative Bookbinding and Book Arts at the Ottawa School of Art’s <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">George Street</st1:address></st1:street> and Orléans campuses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This past summer, while working on a book, she realized she was watching her hands at work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thinking about the importance of hands and the activities carried out by them, she asked herself how she could turn the idea into a book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Combining a sense of humour and play on words, she designed a set of eight books, called, “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Show of Hands</i></b>.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></b>This is an exhibit that will appeal to people of all ages. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kritz is known for using different materials in her books and for this set of eight books she has used clay, cloth, wood, paper, terra skin and acrylic. The books are shaped in hands, surrounded by hands and supported by hands, and incorporate photographs of hands performing different activities, as well as sites and images relevant to the narrative in each book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She embroidered the cloth, inscribed Sumerian hieroglyphs into the clay and turned wood, paper and acrylic into accordion books, flag books, tunnel books with pull-outs, and incorporated a combination of tunnel, pop-up and accordion book techniques into one book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kritz provides an opportunity for viewers to interact with one of the books called, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tell Me a Story</i></b>, which consists of six shaped acrylic hands sitting in an acrylic staircase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Viewers are invited to use their hands to play with the notion of a non-traditional book form by changing the order and content of the book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Words may be hung on the fingers and thumbs of the hands or placed on or around the staircase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When viewers hang the double-sided words on fingers and thumbs two different stories emerge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">This exhibit challenges our understanding of what a book is and how it functions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each book’s narrative invites the viewer in to wonder about and interpret the story being presented through visual images rather than words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The acrylic book, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tell Me a Story,</i></b> provides a unique and unusual opportunity by<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></b>inviting the viewers to interact with and create their own story, thus changing the previous artist’s story and becoming the artist and narrator in that moment of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I am a book binder, book artist, photographer and artist and I bring these elements into play when I am designing and creating books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This past summer, while making a book, I realized I was watching my hands at work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have always liked looking at people’s hands, their size, shape, length of fingers and their wear and tear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started thinking about the importance of hands, our tools for carrying out activities such as: self-care and care for others, creating and taking apart, indicating a presence or giving direction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a book artist, I am always asking myself, “How can I turn this idea or object into a book?“ This was the beginning of <em><strong>“A Show of Hands”</strong></em> coming into being. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">As <em><strong>“A Show of Hands”</strong></em> moved from idea to possibility, I started to think about what materials I wanted to use to create the books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided upon wood, clay, paper, cloth and acrylic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used terra skin, for support, to line the hands and photographs, and acrylic paint to colour the clay. A Show of Hands consists of eight different books which are the shape of hands, are surrounded by hands and supported by hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Photographs of hands performing different activities and abstract drawings are incorporated into each book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Hello Everyone: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It is now October and Nuit Blanche has come and gone. It was Ottawa's first and a great success. I was located in the Ottawa School of Art in the Byward Market and there were over 6,000 people who visited the site. The Endearment Tree was an amazing success. I had nine books attached to the tree and all were 99% filled with endearments. People loved the concept, took many pictures of the tree and wrote some beautiful endearments to special people in their lives. As the heart shaped books on the tree filled up with endearments, they started to open up and remained open. It was a beautiful sight. I am very happy to have been part of the first Nuit Blanche in Ottawa. </span></div>
