A giveaway, progressing posts and cutting metal

 

Recently I reprinted a couple of my patriarchy posters and associated tea towels (aka domestic posters). I still have a few of the tea towels that are grammatically incorrect - apostrophes where they should not be. So instead of throwing them away I decided I would give them away - with the offending apostrophe crossed out as you will see from the photo above and below.

If you want one of these tea towels leave a comment on the blog; and tell me which tea towel you want. I will give the tea towels to the first four folk to leave a comment.

I took delivery of some big timbers - 200mm square by 3m long cypress logs. I'm cutting the logs into posts for a three post sculpture installation. I have cut the three posts I need - enough timber left for another installation.



I have also started accumulating rusted stuff for the posts - still out in the rain curing (rusting) nicely.

I have been asked to make some daily leaf words with specific words - so today I cut up silver-plated placemats for three sets of daily word leaves. Whilst I was doing that I decided to cut silver-plated 'pages' for nine small metal books - see below. I kept the engraved section to give back to the person who donated the placemats to me.


A good feeling when one progresses a few projects.

  2. you have been so generous in the past that I hesitate to put my comment in the ring ... but I would love to put scissors to the patriarchy and build something better (so to speak)

    so yes please ... and I rather like the ones with red printing

  3. I'd love one if there's still one left ( past its use by date for preference but either would be great)
