It can only mean one thing - another season of Artists' Book Fairs in the offing.
I am trying to become a bit more disciplined about making all of the copies in an edition in one go, so that they are ready in advance for fairs and exhibitions and I don't have that mad scramble to make something to order. It should also help with the development of my work as having to keep going back and make more of an earlier piece can disrupt my train of thought and new ideas, as well as the fact that it is always difficult to remember exactly the process and measurements used when you have had a gap since making the last one. Plus of course it will mean there is more space on my table for exciting new things!
(I say all of this with the confession that in reality I am trying to make the remaining copies of an edition of 8, the first 3 of which were completed a few weeks ago. So it is something of a resolution rather than actual practice at the moment, but definitely something to strive for).
