The Book

Cynthia Wylie’s Sitting Room

I have to finish my book.  It is slow going.  Here is what I recommend if any of you want to do a book:

1.  Read the directions first.

2.  Make a little mock up book.

I have made all the pages.  I have chosen the font and purchased it – it’s very cool don’t you think?  It’s called, Aged With Style.  I chose the color for under the paintings (R -39, G-2, B-0).  I finished my wallpaper patterns for the opposing pages.  I have photographed the pillows and photoshopped out the background.  Is photoshop officially a word now?  And a verb?  Because no “you misspelled this word red underline popped up under it”.  Amazing.  And I have chosen most of the quotes I’m going to use.  Written my essay-in-lieu-of-bullshit-bio.  (See previous blog entry).  Still waiting for Mick’s essay and Peter Frank’s preface.  I was thinking this morning that I should also take a photograph of all my wooden tiles and drop that in.  Originally I was going to put in pictures of the furniture but I don’t think I have time for that.  I will email Sam and ask him but I would need them by tomorrow, otherwise I will not have a chance to get a proof and get the book in time.  Nothing like waiting until the last minute Ms. Wylie.

Additionally, there is a whole laundry list of things I still need to do for the show including the following:  pick up my large paintings at the framers, put hangers on the back of all my tiles, touch up my paintings, paint the sides umber, finish picking out the furniture and arrange with Sam the finer details (by the way, you must check out his amazing designs – www.SamuelMoyerFurniture.com).  I’m sure there’s more …
