The first was as a result of receiving some beautiful seed packets - thank you Mr Fowler! They were so good just as they were I wavered for a long time considering how best to utilise them in a book, but finally their intrinsic packet qualities won out and I decided to keep them in their intended form and play around with words instead.
The finished book is a collection of 4 seed packets tied roughly with garden string. Each is rubber stamped with the details of a different seed type: Hope, Despair, Change and Success, including when to harvest and what to plant with.

The second book is a follow up to a book I made last year A Series of Small Admissions. As time has passed I have considered the pile of unused tickets and kept a note of fleeting thoughts and realisations that fitted the criteria for this concept 'A concertina book of tickets, each revealing a small personal admission on the reverse, in proportion with the scale and transient nature of the ticket'. The hardest thing has been not to include or admit to anything too big!
