This is supposed...Thank you for your kind comments. This is supposed to be a sort of secret blog, but if I am found, this is not too much of a bother....<BR/><BR/>This is really a large 150- page collaged book. I am toying with ideas of how to roll it out to the public. I have a few plans, but none have become cement yet. Sadly, I will have to tear the binding apart to scan it correctly. For now, I am enjoying it's phatness while it is still a book.<BR/><BR/>In the meanwhile, I have taken just the words from the pages, and decided to examine them to help me better critique the work as a whole. I feel as tho the story gets lost at certain points and becomes difficult to follow. I also feel that there are parts that are over emphasized or under-explained. This was due to the sprawling nature of how the book was composed in the first place! <BR/>I will be filling in pages where I feel I need to, and I may also pull some pages where I feel redundant. It is REALLY hard to pull the images, however, since they are my little creative offspring. I am hoping that by eliminating my visual attachment, I can finish this huge project to my satisfaction.<BR/>The bold text is the actual collaged words in the book. The italic is me trying to explain what I felt behind the picture. <BR/><BR/>You are seeing things quite backwards thru the blog, all words, no pictures for the meaning!! How odd!! I am excited that the words alone can generate a response! <BR/><BR/>Hang in there. I will be posting the pics, just as soon as I can tear the book apart!! (there will be a little break this week, as I am going out of town for a bit. but next week, the ritual should continue)Julie Takacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13321117239292373395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794584901104347967.post-57088100716631261112007-03-26T13:39:00.000-05:002007-03-26T13:39:00.000-05:00I fell for this poem the instant I read it.
