From shelter
It's raining, and I'm in a library, having just collected a pile of nine largeish books which will decidedly not fit under my coat. I may be here a while.
The books from smallest to largest are:
Intaglio Printmaking by Mychael Barrat Big Cotton by Stephen Yafa Cotton by Beverly Lemire Etching Engraving and Intaglio Printmaking by Anthony Gross Intaglio by Robert Adam & Carol Robertson Textile Nature by Ann Kelley The Illustrated History of Textiles edited by Madeleine Ginsberg & Engraving and Etching 1400 - 2000 by Ad Stinjman
and they'll be going on the floor-edge which is currently my bookshelf so that I can be productive without leaving the house, because this rain is only symptomatic of Autumn's general keenness to make up for lost time, since they arrived in town day before yesterday. The intaglio stuff & the cotton stuff are actually both for my printmaking course -- series of three prints using intaglio processes to represent human use of cotton, is our new brief, squee, happy jumping -- the other textiles stuff is for textiles class, starting Monday. Excited. Really very happy I started doing this degree. On Thursday my teacher for the finishing fashion course told me that yes she thought my approach would fit textiles quite well, and somehow I felt buoyed with pride for the rest of the day. Because maybe, maybe the things I care about turn out to be useful and valued?
and ok the library closes at 8 on Saturdays, it turns out, so, out into the rain.
[update: the books mostly do fit under my coat.]
