A Slight Hiatus

Before I get on to what happened let's examine the word: hiatus

According to Dictionary.com it means:
1. (esp in manuscripts) a break or gap where something is missing
2. a break or interruption in continuity

Well, this is true of my 100 day project but the word hiatus feels to me as though it should mean chaos, complete disorder or utter confusion.

Not a gap in something.  Hiatus sounds like a LOUD word not the quietness of a lack of something.

Anyway on to what I actually did with my zines since last Saturday's post.

I was distracted during Days 7 & 8 by needing to come up with an idea for a creative session at my Lifegroup.  I decided that we would make zines.  So whilst I wasn't continuing with my A-Z zines I was still doing zines!


On Day 9 I printed out the photos I mentioned last week and glued the pictures relevant to A, B & C in.

On Day 10 I got my gel plate out and printed 8 A4 sheets of paper.  The papers ended up with rather too much Buff Titanium!

On Day 11, having ordered and received some new Glaze pens, I added letters to the front of the 8 folded gel plate printed zines.

The hiatus occurred on days 12 & 13.  These two days were spent with a friend who was photographing my work for me - 32 fabric books and 15 textile hangings in preparation for talks I am doing later in the year.

Here I am trying to arrange the next shot.

 

Today is day 14.  Who knows what I will get up to.

Thanks for being here today.
