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!
