In bits and pieces

Well, it is the start of Year Four of The Metamer Quarterly. From inside the paused NY state, I am trying out the Vandercook Proof Press that we brought from Colorado, and trying to restart the Metamer. For now, I am circling. Making 6 x 6 squares as an exercise in discipline.

Metamer Years Three and Four

The Metamer Quarterly goes on tour

Well, The Metamer, as friends have taken to calling it, hopes to tour. This weekend I am heading to a fair sponsored by the Western New York Book Arts Center (WNYBAC) in Buffalo. It will be the first art book fair for the Quarterly, as I usually call it.

Here's the postcard I am taking with me.















And here is some of the information on the back. Yes, there will be a Year Three.

No Subject, the subject is No Subject

No Subject, Issue #6 of The Metamer Quarterly, has been printed, slightly revised, and shipped.

Contributors included Dana Beck, Kate Blackwood, Elizabeth Gillett, Kevin Hamilton, Yeeseon Kwon, and Jana Laxa, among others.

For the first time in the brief history of TMQ, there are copies still available! The basic version (on the left) is available for $30 USD, plus shipping. The uniquely covered/wrapped version (on the right; it opens to something like the basic version) is available for $45 plus shipping. I have 3 copies of each available now.

For more information, or to request a copy, please write to me at The Metamer Quarterly, P.O. Box 725, Sherburne, NY 13460.

Or, send me an email. metamer@protonmail.com

Except for a book that is going abroad, and a book who keeps crossing paths with its recipient, the Book of Love is now in the hands of all subscribers. 

And, for the next issue, if you would like to add something to The Sea, it needs to be in multiples of 15, sent to the address below. Meaning, I will add it by literally adding it.

I tell you, the relationship is its own reward

More pages from The Book of Love.

Various front and back covers, and first pages

I've capped the edition at 35. Fourteen are out in the world, either waiting patiently on the living room coffee table, or already winging their way to their proper owners. If you would like one of your own, there are 21 available. The cost is $110; international orders are $150. For a custom made box to store it in, add $45. Please write to me (Lara Scott) at The Metamer Quarterly, P.O. Box 725, Sherburne, NY, 13460.

The Book of Love Comes Together, Right Now

I am back from an amazing bookbinding class with Erin Fletcher, who runs Herringbone Bindery, and is a graduate of The North Bennet St School in Boston. She's amazing, my classmates were lovely, and I learned a ton! And, got some advice on how to get out of the sticky corner I created for myself. So, Issue #3 is late, but moving!

Here are two versions of two spreads:
