Matchbook Art for Kraftbomb - tomorrow 24 February 2013

These retro-matchbooks are sewn onto card and paper, in such a way that they could be removed if necessary. Each group of three suggested a poem, and art. They're unframed, but require a box frame should you purchase one.

Kraftbomb is at Grey Lynn Community Centre, the last Sunday of every month. 510 Richmond Road, Grey Lynn, Auckland, NZ

New Cards

These cards feature collage front and back, while inside they're white paper for easy understanding of your personally written message. Only three dollars each with envelope.

February - Summer Whimsy

Embroidered linens featuring poetry quotes this month. A linen tablecloth with an excerpt from a Katherine Mansfield poem I'd not heard of before, Camomile Tea, also two linen doilies with quotes from Emerson and Edgar Allan Poe. Photos are below.

I also made two larger notebooks with collage covers. The heavy packaging from Christmas presents were useful with those. Such durable boxes that various lovely cosmetics and so on arrived in.  Two new Tiny Titles, from a tea packet were finished yesterday. Do you like the pictures of those new books, below?

I hope to see you at Kraftbomb end of February again, I haven't heard if I am in yet but I did apply. Shall keep you all posted and thanks for your support. Comments welcome.

New Tiny Titles (#14)

These are the latest Tiny Titles handmade books, created from flotsam and jetsam, discarded paper and cardboard, the finest trash known to Earth, an alchemy of stitching, beading, writing and cutting. 

Each has pages for your own souvenirs and writing, along with a few pages of my poetry which is often verse previously published elsewhere. I've had seven books of poetry published and many also in magazines or on websites across the world.

Make your Tiny Title into your own treasure. Buy from me at Happy Tea House in Grey Lynn Auckland NZ, or at Kraftbomb, some are also in The Women's Bookshop, Ponsonby Road, Tamaki Makaurau Auckland NZ.  http://www.womensbookshop.co.nz/

My novels, non-fiction, poetry et al are mentioned here.

Please contact me on raewynalexander[at]hotmail dot com for more info. We can also send these books across the world and have done so many times. Beauty is everywhere, trash may be treasure, art gives meaning to our lives.

collage cards with poetry inside $5- each or $9- for two (and some old stock are $3-)

Here's one of the poems from these cards -

script a rewritten summer sky


people ran into the streets
every television dissolved
we danced the roads
our voices raised windows
tinkered built-in obsolescence

where empty houses creaked
no one heard any board complain
conversation weather
strangers taught each other languages
young people braided green

a line of unknowns held hands
in a spiral out and on
wound through the streets
their coloured clothing
looped high spots and larks
