Day 2, January 25th - Impossible???

Here's Day 2, a simple little Shorts Book or Ox-Plow Pamphlet, called Impossible.... It's made with a single sheet of paper and computer-generated text. The whole thing takes about 5 minutes, but it's a fold I hadn't done before and there are dozens of variations on it I will try in the days to come (and oh, dear God, there are a LOT of days still to come).

I needed something simple today, because Tuesday is when I have my silversmithing class. Today, it. did. not. go. well. Let's just say. I HATE firescale. Anyway, I think I used up my allotment of creative energy in class, so this little Ox-Plow was the perfect project. Two folds, one cut and you're done. The hardest part is figuring out what text goes on what part of the page and which ones need to be printed upside-down.



The quotation on the inside is a Chinese Proverb I particularly love.... "Those who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it." The back cover says "...Highly Likely."


See you tomorrow!
