It's clearly demo book #3 for the win. This project has always been rooted in the green issues, and the book is heavily textile focused anyway - so this leaves me with some freedom to do a few works without. Having the green issue at the heart of this project is the leg I can lean on when this project gets confusing, so I should cut it off. The pink book can happen in the future. Now I feel like I've come full circle on the project and am right back at the second blog post - making green craft projects. Back then it was for the campaign but not its for myself and in a book. However my concerns and challenges are;
- Is a book the right format/could it be 1 part of the project. What is the climate of craft books (Beci Orpin...) and do I have enough time to do a professional job - a lot of time needs to be spent on the projects before the book (i.e. embroidery...)
- Can I complete a list of craft projects to an extremely high and polished standard to look like they were professionally made, photographed and presented?
- How many projects should I attempt? Is this enough for a big book? Can I choose better projects?
- How much writing is involved; I'm not shy of a bit but to get it to a high standard is difficult.
Goals for tomorrow (Friday)
- Rewrite the contents, elaborate on them and edit them to a tentative number. Strengthen them! Add more, remove some... edit edit edit.
- Using white A3 project fold a demo book and layout the pages... see how this feels, reflect.
- Write a draft for the introduction to the book/project
- Plan what project I am going to complete by next Wednesday
- Do a timeline for this whole project, can it work?
