I have finished my visual poem and I am quite excited. Here is the small version.



Yes, there was a great deal of sewing and gluing. I'm feeling crafty!

If you would like to be able to read the text (large version) go here and click: all sizes.

I'm still enjoying that minty fresh feeling of working in a new medium.
BRILLIANT!

Love this idea. I saw someone doing typed lines repeatedly on parchment- framing it and selling it. This is way cooler than what I saw.

Very cool. Plus I already liked the poem.

Micheal -- thanks. It was very cool to make. I was a little intimidated by all the planning that went into it, usually I can just sit down and write, but I think it turned out well.

Kristy -- (or should I call you wicked?) Thanks! it was tremendous fun. I think you would like something like this, if you haven't done it already. Do you collect wierd vintage books like me? grammar texts, anatomy, secretary's primers?

I like this a lot. I am sending the link to some handmade book fanatics.

Ms. Crow -- thanks! It does have a sort of handmade book feel to it, although it's really a re-made book.
