I first discovered bookmaking while teaching my young students, in Stockton. They used booklets as organizers and for writing assignments. This book is also an organizer, a keeper of thoughts, ideas, drawings and “very important small papers”. The two separate signatures, one for writing and one for drawing, represent the two ways in which I express myself artistically. The futuristic looking cover is made with pasted paper; the signatures contain collages, printed fragments and other materials.

I’d like to dedicate this book to all free-spirited women, to women artists and courageous pioneers.
