Oh, I see...you're talking about the original edition of this poem,the one with Cendrars' text and Sonia Delaunay's abstract images?<br /><br />No, the edition I'm working on is an English translation by Dick Jones which I'm illustrating in a totally different way and which will be published by the Old Stile Press (their website link is on my blogroll) as a hand-printed. limited edition. Since it's a 'livre d'artiste' kind of thing it will indeed end up in museums and rare book libraries etc. but I hope the general public will get to see it (and buy it!)too.Natalie d'Arbeloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757081405040926647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-2274684401007633192014-04-05T21:01:52.727+01:002014-04-05T21:01:52.727+01:00Are you working on the third reprint?

When I finish cutting each one, I glue it to a second tile so as to bring it up to the type height for its eventual printing by Nicolas McDowall (The Old Stile Press) on his letterpress.Natalie d'Arbeloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757081405040926647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-36813348091025136932014-03-13T09:59:26.648+00:002014-03-13T09:59:26.648+00:00Good to hear that things are getting back on track...Good to hear that things are getting back on track, so to speak. I am intrigued that you are able to use vinyl floor tiles which, in my ignorance of the matter, would have seemed too thin to work with comfortably. In olden times, when I was young, I played around a little with lino but found that material too brittle. I imagine vinyl doesn't have this problem(?)
