After the worries of the last post, I've come up with a solution! And it seems to fit my constraints. The book folds at the top, similar to a calendar, and is square. There is 1 page per letter and content. All imagery is made in a square frame, with a circle excluded for text later (so all imagery has to be made with this in mind - eg the embroidery is done on a square piece of fabric, with a circle section left untouched.) See diagram below.
What this means for my existing projects is that some (especially the ones that were confusing me and were maybe a bit out of place) are now redundant and this format is better for flat, patterned and easier to photograph images. For example J for Jar Jungle wont look good, so will be swapped. This also allows me to simplify some projects, such a P for Pickling is not so much about photographic documentation of pickled produce, instead I can use existing pickled produce, cut it up and make a pattern in the grid I've developed.
This means a far simpler list of craft projects - 1 project per letter, each will be patterned around the text. They tentatively are:
A - Alphabets OR Australian Natives
B - Beeswax
C - Crayons OR Clippings
B - Beeswax
C - Crayons OR Clippings
D - Disco Dancer
E - Embroidery
F - Felt
G - Googly Eyes
H - Herbs
I - Ink Illustrations
J -
K - Kleptomania
L - Lentils OR Life (Seeds)
M - Magazine Mockery
N -
O - Origami
P - Pickling
Q - Queer Quraft
R - Recycled Ragdolls
S - Stealing Succulents
T - Tea Time OR Textiles
U -
V - Vandalisation
W - Weeds and Wildflowers
X - Xmas
Y - Yaiyai
Z -
(So there is a few OR options and J, N, U and Z are still undecided! AH! - Also these being undecided leaves open the option to make more humour/eco/plant/art projects depending on what the order needs - I need advice on this from Zoe)
