A musical make this week. I've been working on this song for a while and it finally feels near completion - only near though, not quite complete yet. It's got to the point though where it can't go any further until it's been tested in public. So, with no gigs lined up youtube must suffice:

weekly make #20
You may remember, or you may not, that in February I mentioned I was working on a new collection of diagram poems. Well I finished it and printed and "bound" it in the form of an A7 four-fold pamphlet book or one of these:
They're £2 (1.50p + 50p p&p) from folksy, and some are printed on recycled white sugar paper, others on recycled white cartridge paper.

weekly make #19
Thanks to Brian Behan (see #17), an "earthy" diptych:
There shan't be many more like this - I put the book in the recycling!

weekly make #18
It's been a busy week and I've made a few different things but I don't know what counts as a "weekly make" and what doesn't...
I made spin paintings with the 2 year olds at work:
and I've been making bunting with Heather, here's some from a couple of weeks ago:
And here's another adapted wedding invite design:

weekly make #17
I bought some old books from charity shops to cut out words for diagram poems. One of which was Time to Go, a deplorable novel by Brian Behan which seems to be a badly written account of murder, affairs and general misogyny. Think Bukowski without any of the skill, beauty, clever turns of phrase... it's terrible, from what I can tell from skim reading it to pick out the good words. The only words that stood out during skim reading were not suitable for the sort of diagram poems I have been, and was planning to make. They are only really suitable for "earthier" poems. So I decided to make some... I made a great one as a present, so I can't post it yet because I haven't given it yet, but I can reveal this little gem:
I also made the little book below. I was cutting out eyes and mouths again for work and found some interesting products and services on offer in the classifieds, mostly ridiculous and unecessary, and I wondered, who even wants any of these? So I mis-collated some:
If anybody wants it, I'll put it on folksy for a fiver. Which, by the way, is a bargain as it took me a lot longer than 20 minutes to make!
