The Consistent Variable Project Workbook page 17 SHORTS ARE IN by risa
this page is one where i think you can really feel the 70′s craftbook influences shining through.
Emily did suggest blended haiku, though it was more in the context of: “i’m tired, i just wrote like 45 haiku and some of these may be silly. feel free to futz with them.” They were awesome and I didn’t end up changing or editing a single one. Though some were weird, they all sparked the imagination, and the challenge was for to try and work with them and to see what she saw; or to leave the question open for the reader to puzzle out. i think by including the idea of blended haiku in the book, as an option for how to negotiate with the text, we also reinforced the idea that different people will think and like different things. Which is an obvious bit, but sometimes tough to remember.
By the way- the funny girl who made this jumper, and who submitted it with a paper which read “J is for Jumper, just put it on and Go!” is also all tangled up in Worn now. She models, she does PR, she multi-tasks like a star.
