Ripe for exposure

Disinfectant in left hand

Glistening blister

Calling last orders

Nobody is listening

Boogie all night long

Partaking in human

Tinned to distribute

Crunchy bits to entertain

Sell authentic grit

Dialogue

[ooo-orb]

To my common sense

You, a sword wielder now

Guttural impact

[ooo-orb]

If I had some more

Run my fingers through your breath

Pet time like a dog

[ooo-orb]

O! You humble mind

Nurture mine with all the time

Open air to yours!

[ooo-orb]

Repeat that for me?

O, disambiguation

Supreme is my ear

… Nach relativ bescheiden Schlaf Besuchte ich ein freundlich Schaf …

Relate to no end

To the ol’ deuterostome

Embryonically

We are having fun

Except that you are a fish

I wish that you laughed

[ooo-orb]

Not late for the bus

I’m not late for anything

An alternate plane

Decorative Sunday

In Praise of Patterned Papers was printed in an edition 360 copies by Graham Moss at his Incline Press in Oldham, England in 1997. It includes dozens of paper samples and a collection of essays by noted British designers and patterned-paper experts Tanya Schmoller, Paul Nash, Phyllis Barron, Enid Marx, Alan Powers, Sebastian Carter, Victoria Hall, and Graham Moss himself. Moss writes:

What you have here is a guide book rather than an encyclopaedia, not a study so much as an exuberance. . . . Patterned paper is a particular type of decorated paper, and has as many uses as you might put it to. The main emphasis of this collection of essays is to take a look at its use as a book covering, with a little but the occasional turn of the head to look at other decorated papers used in bindings.

The patterns shown here are by Sarah Nechamkin, Hans Schmoller, Edward Bawden, Enid Marx, and Robert Simon.
