where did it go?

June is almost over. Where on earth did the month go?
Thankfully, I feel like I have gotten much accomplished with my bookmaking class and my internship. I finished my first theme book for my class, which had to be about home. My parents are divorced and I have lived in about 20 places between the two of them so I decided to focus on the idea that if home is where the heart is, that mine will always be divided. I'm pretty happy with the result. I created a slotted accordion book and drew simple line drawings of each of the houses I lived in. One side illustrates my mother's homes and the other shows my father's. My father's houses are painted in blue and my mother's in red. The homes I have lived in on my own are purple. I painted them with water color, and purposely made the look a bit messy to illustrate the idea that it is the memory of my homes as well as my home life being messy while I grew up. I call it "It seems mine is divided," and each of the covers shows half of a heart and half of a house which you can bring together to make the whole. My camera cord has gone missing but when I find it I'll post photos of the book.
This was a fun project and I liked creating the visual narrative. Our next book is themed around how to do something and it can be anything we want, serious or funny. I am still brainstorming, and thinking about what I want to do. We will see!
I'm also thinking about other side projects I can create with my newfound knowledge of bookmaking. I was thinking I could make little notebooks and journals, and give them out as gifts...or maybe even sell them at next year's yartsale. I also want to get back into making jewelry again. So many plans, and so little time.
