LINEAGE LIFELINE/ANDREA fabric sketchbook

About the LINEAGE collection:
LINEAGE is the collection that arrived after spending a summer making lines and playing around with the question, ‘When does a line become a stripe?’ The patterns that resulted from those explorations became a diverse compilation of drawings and collages, reveling in the beauty of a line, whether it be simple or complex. Then, thinking about the infinite ways those individual lines could evolve into stripes. During the making of the collection, I came to appreciate that one line alone can’t be a good stripe. Stripes by their very nature are pieces gathered, like families, standing side by side, making and taking up space together in a community. This collection is also a promise fulfilled to my cousin Sarah, an amazing quilter and the ultimate lover of stripes. Years ago, she asked me to create a stripe pattern, and from that one ask LINEAGE was born. To Sarah and stripe lovers everywhere, this is for you.

This book is covered with the fabric pattern, Lifeline/Andrea.

About the Blank Slate series:
I found my first set of discarded publishing blanks or (dummies) in a huge pile at one of my favorite reuse centers in Oakland about a year ago. All these beautiful empty white book forms just sat there waiting to become something. So I bought the whole stack and then stacks more, and little by little, they have become part of this new blank slate journal/sketchbook series.

All books in this series are one-of-a-kind. Read the following specs carefully.
(I have filled out as much information about the paper weight, texture, surface, etc… but some of the book forms have been acquired with no descriptions. I will guess as best I can in some instances. Artists: feel free to contact me if there is a certain medium you use and you want to be sure the paper will be suitable. I can try to test the surface for you as best I can.)
