<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Years ago, with two small children and a need to make some money, I
adopted the approach of only using materials that I already owned. One
thing I had in abundance was a stash of previously loved woollies that

flower corsages, but I did hold on to the felted wool and scraps of my hand dyed linen threads - some of which have been used for the books. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I find January and February particularly difficult months due to the lack of light and warmth, although it impacts my productivity it does allow me the time to pause, think and explore. I've just had coffee with my friend and fellow book artist <a href="http://www.annwyndean.com/">Annwyn Dean</a>, she kindly brought along samples of 18thC madder dyed fabrics (from her <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">vast</span> collection of historical textiles), and was happy for me to tap her extensive knowledge re: historical textiles and their production.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I received an open invitation to contribute to the <a href="http://www.ditchlingmuseumartcraft.org.uk/naturaldyeproject/">Ethel Mairet Dye Project </a> - '<a href="http://www.ditchlingmuseumartcraft.org.uk/event/dyeing-now/">Dyeing Now</a>' . A research project aiming to create and catalogue every natural dye recipe from Ethel Mairet's 1916 "Vegetable Dyes" publication.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've always wanted to have a go at Madder red. So I chose Ethel's recipe 'Red for Cotton and linen', pg 105, and just as quickly abandoned it when I noticed 2oz Arsenic(!) in the ingredients list. I used the safer '3 step Alum and Tanin' mordanting method and cobbled together the Madder dye based on my own experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now then, I do chuckle when people use the words "Natural" and "Eco" when describing dyeing with plants. Any dyeing with plants needs to be undertaken with care and an understanding of which ingredients can be toxic. ( I steer clear of the toxic/ lethal ones!). </span><br />

(... and unfortunately rather sore wrists, a condition that seems to impact other bookmakers at this time of year, see: <a href="http://paperiaarre.blogspot.fi/2015/10/22-wonderful-new-books.html">paperiaarre.blogspot</a>),</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So here are a <b>few </b>of the books I made from September to October:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">73 recycled leather books. Some have gone to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Hawksbys/">Hawksbys</a>, a delicious gallery located on the cobbled highstreet of Haworth, a short stroll from the <a href="https://www.bronte.org.uk/">home of the Bronte sisters</a>. A batch have gone to <a href="http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/leisure/museumandgalleries/shirehallgalleries/home.aspx">Shire Hall Gallery in Staffordshire</a>, Another batch is on its way to the gorgeous <a href="http://www.mashamgallery.co.uk/">Gallery in Masham</a> and I have saved a few for events later this month.</span><br />

<h3 style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">What am I working on?</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a funny old time of year for me and my production (it really is about production at this time of year) is geared up for the shows I have planned for November and the hope of sales in the run up to Christmas. (These plans have been somewhat scuppered by an appointment for eye surgery, which should have been successfully completed by the time this post is published, fingers crossed). In the back of my mind, scribbled in notebooks, I have new designs and ideas screaming to be made; a pile of indigo-dyed leather taunting me from a shelf, a mound of naturally dyed fabrics made into book cloth sulking on the shelf above, a list of new skills I want to master and an equally long list of experienced artists/ crafts people that I will need to entice to share their skills with me. I will need to save these joys until January ... then I shall play ... </span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">How does my work differ from others of its genre?</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">This is a tricky one for me to answer. </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">I do, however, work hard to make them look like "My books" ... that probably makes this an easier question for my customers to answer than me ... I will need to think about this one a bit longer ...</span></div>

I have, in equal measures, a love/ loathing of modern technology ... and am yet to be convinced that we have the same emotional response to a data file of photos/ emails that we have with a handwritten letter or a pile of old photos... where is the touch, the smell? It gives me great pleasure to know that in the future the content of my books will provoke an emotional response.</span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Why do I do what I do?</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">I have a need to make/ create combined with a need to learn. I fell into bookmaking a number of years ago and had a gut reaction, almost a craving: "I want to know how to do that". It's such a fascinating and ancient craft that I believe learning/ mastering it will keep me interested for many years to come. It is also the most marvellous vehicle for exploring my interest in: the history of women in art/ craft, textiles and its assorted</span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;"> haberdashery ephemera</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">, respect for skills that take time and effort to learn and implement</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;"> and a need to create in a sustainable way,... oh ... and people buy them, which is completely marvellous as it allows me to make more.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 2px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">How does my process work?</span></h3>
<div>

My notes/ sketches are scruffy and not at all beautiful, which is maybe a reaction to the,almost contrived sketchbooks we were encouraged to create at art college back in the late 80s. It is also the most wonderful aide-memoir for grey cells that are beginning to feel the ravages of time.<br />My process is also defined by the discarded materials I have to hand; for example, a bag full of old linen and threads, donated by my lovely book artist friend <a href="http://www.annwyndean.com/">Annwyn Dean</a>, was the original catalyst for the "<a href="http://katebowles.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/darned-books.html">Darned Books</a>". <br />So ... I constantly have ideas brewing: what do I want to learn? What do I have to hand? What will <br />I do with them once they are made?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Indigo is marvellous stuff, the speed with which it dyes fabric is a complete contrast to the slow and steady process used with most other natural dyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A few of the fabrics have an interesting mottled effect which is both irritating and quite exciting. I do find "happy accidents" quite thrilling, however I get more pleasure from mastering a technique and the knowledge that I can replicate it ... more work with Indigo is required before I adorn a book with these.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If, like me, you are too lazy to: grow your own indigo, ferment a vat of urine etc ... I highly recommend buying a kit from <a href="http://www.mulberrydyer.co.uk/">The Mulberry Dyer</a>. She really is an expert and her kits are brilliant!</span><br />
