Feeling Christmassy!
Today I went along princes street as a break from writing my dissertation, everything was misty so people were wrapped in in all manner of wonderful knitted hats and scarves. I popped into Jenners to take a peek at there HUGE Christmas tree, and to look out for free cake!
Connie Viney created this cake as a public sculpture. She describes the project in an interview with Kamila Kocialkowska and Sarah Hardie in The Student.

Saltburn Tramway Print

I finally started my dissertation practical!

Saltburn Bookshop.
A new print hot off the press today! Inspired by a recent trip to Saltburn by the Sea, near Middlesborough. This was just printed in relief but I hope to print with the intaglio press another day. Patterned wallpaper is my newest collagraph discovery, I think it works really well here as the bricks.

By Leaves We Live » SPL's annual book fair
Today I went to...
By Leaves We Live 2009: A celebration of artists' books and small presses
There were some amazing artists books there but my favourite (which I could not resist) was by Leonard Mc Dermid called a pocket guide to the sea. Every book he makes is typeset and letterpress printed by hand, and he uses lino cuts to illustrate some of the text. I think they are beautiful.
You can see (and purchase) some of his work here.

Viking research
I have been researching for a new book and came across this name quiz at ww.thequarter.org
Your viking name is...
Móeiðr Foecrusher
Your Viking Personality: You're a fearsome Viking, but you aren't completely uncivilized. The other Vikings make fun of you for that. You have a thirst for battle, and tend to strike first and think later. You're not a "berserker", but you're among the toughest sane Vikings around.
You might grumble a bit at the lack of amenities on board a Viking longboat, but you can handle it. Other Vikings would consider you "one of the guys" if you were a guy. (But even though you're a woman, they still think you're all right.)
You have a fairly pragmatic attitude towards life, and tend not to expend effort in areas where it would be wasted. Other people tend to think of you as manipulative and conniving.
Fairly accurate I reckon!
