Bookbinding and lino-cuts

The result of binding four books in rapid succession is that I complained to the management about there not being enough space. I have been using a sliver of space in a small spare room which mostly held beds. The result was that the beds have gone, the furniture has been rearranged and a table introduction and all of a sudden I have wonderful space and do not hit my elbow on the wall every time I measure something. There is a cupboard over the stairs in that room and I cleared out, finding all sorts of things which I heaved in there last September and including a fabulous lino-cut, not done by me. So that will have to be framed.

However and much more important, I inspected all the lino-cut stuff and decided I did not like the prints made for the Lament for the Makars and abandoned that project. This morning, I did a baobab tree (photo taken in Namibia).

The prints are better but are all in the drying rack. Next week, there will be multi-coloured prints.
