I have three fabulous Fabriano tiny books. I have been drawing in this green book for three weeks now and I am almost finished. It is a wonderful object that has a seemingly coded story that can be revealed. Some people call this asemic writing it is an accurate description of the drawing in this book.

Making drawings that are also objects is very interesting to me. Books are a special love.

The three images here start with the expanding drawing that appears on the edges of the paper. This drawing is elastic. The interior pages are rhythmic with only one line across the page. It's a narrative.

The Fabriano book is called Mignon and has 224 pages of lucious Palatina Avorio paper (85 g/m2) I believe that it will be finished tomorrow.

My next task will be to develop a way to place the title on the cloth cover and where to sign it. Then to start another book.
