Tax Free and Easy

Everyone, if you use enough frames and do enough business to have a tax number (even if you don't!), it is really easy. Then you can use Frame King . Just get form 10A100-FI(6-05) from the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 299, Station 20, Frankfort, KY 40602-0299, (502) 564-3306, or go to:
www.revenue.ky.gov and download the form. You will have to file for a few months on a monthly basis and then they go to a semi-annual basis.

The filing is easy too.

Kathleen's Book

Kathleen (Piecefield) created this book in the workshop led by Jennifer D. Anderson @ NKU this past Saturday.

Artists who attended the workshop made books of roughly the same dimensions, using various papers and embellishments on their books. When closed, most of our books measured approximately 9.5 x 13 x 1 inches.

Kathleen writes: "I finished the book with a little toggle made from a sliver of driftwood, and added a braided linen tie to wrap around it, which shows up in the detail shot. I am really loving the weight and flexibility of this book-- how good it feels in the hand! I like the smell of the new paper, and it even makes a pleasing sound....so it is engaging all the senses!"

This image is a detail of Kathleen's book--the toggle closure she mentioned in her comments. I think it's pretty sexy, and it is characteristic of her work, with a natural inclusion, and a certain elegance.

I would love to see this and other books in person. I hope we can all get together sometime in the near(ish) future to pass our books around and see what everyone has done with theirs. Posting them here, of course, is the next best thing!

Note: If you attended the workshop, and you would like to have us post your work here in the Edition Varies blog, please feel free to send the photo and any writing/description/comments you have about your work to Nicci.

wasn't our workshop with jennifer cool? i had a lot of fun, even if i was pretty slap happy from lack of sleep. sometimes it just makes glue mishaps that much more amusing, right?

right.

anywho, i haven't finished my big orange sketchbook-thing get, but today i made a smaller book, which measures about 7.5 x 4.75 x 1 inch, with the same technique. you can poke around the guts, so to speak, if you click on over to my flickr set on this book, or go see what it looks like closed.

you can also see a little sneak peek at the spine of the orange book. gasp! it's finished, i swear! once it's embellished, i'll post it here.

i was concentrating so hard on keeping glue out of my hair, that i really didn't take a lot of workshop progress photos. i know randel did, so i leave it to him to post some here!
