over the weekend

Over the weekend I went to a couple different places in detroit for inspiration on my project. I started out like I normally do on Fridays at the school with the girls I have been working with for the past few weeks. I worked on a couple of drawings with them and talked about the holidays and what they were going to be doing over the break.
(2 hours)
After that I went to Garvey Elementary to speak with Melanie Manos ( a teacher at u of m) on my project and to get ideas for projects I could work on with the kids. In their class, they were working with clay and creating pieces for the u of m hospital. The work will be placed in front of the rooms in the Mott hospital. (2 hours)
I also went to a book store to look at their older bindings. The store is called John King Book Store and it was 4 stories of books. I spent three and a half hours their, and probably could have spent a lot longer but they kicked me out do to their closing time. I only got through the first two and a half floors, and wish I could have seen the rest, but it was still quiet an amazing place. (3.5 hours)
I also worked on cutting out puzzel pieces for my newest book that I am creating mock ups of.  It took a lot longer then I thought it would to create such interact cuts in the board. (3 hours)
I also printed pictures to put into another one of the books that I am working on currently, including printing and editing (3 hours)
