Books and magazines


Barnes and Noble had a bunch of books and gift items on 50% off! So I got some new books, I didn't realize it until I got home but all of the books I bought are from Dover publishing. I love Dover books. They always have really interesting titles that aren't too expensive and they have great cover designs. Also the books themselves are made of quality paper and are made to last. I got a book about screen printing that I am really excited about. A couple of years ago my sister got me a screen printing kit that I have yet to use. Such a shame! I did screen printing in high school but wasn't sure how to go about without all the equipment that I had access to in school so hopefully this book will help me. From the little bit that I looked at it seems like a really great book. I will definitely post any experiments that I conduct. I also got a book about Norse gods and heroes, an arithmetic refresher and a book of Indian designs. I'm hoping to use some of these designs in my screen printing.
Oh I also got the newest edition of Lapham's Quarterly journal for Natan. This edition is about travel. If you've never looked through Lapham's you should! Each issue has a one topic and they collect different writings and pictures about the topic from various authors from all different time periods. I haven't spent too much time on the website but here it is if you're interested.

Saturday




Wow, I realized I could make collages on picasa! This is going to be so much fun and really make blogging easier and more interesting. I hated Just having a row of pictures. Well these were taken last Saturday somewhere around Fort Lauderdale airport while Laura and I waited for her dad. Those are my new yellow loafers that I found at a thrift store last week and I really love them, they are so comfortable and I really love shoes that are interesting colors. I look forward to making more exciting collages in the future!
