i hid art, lindsay zier-vogel, handmade book, lake ontario

I created a wee one-of-a-kind gem for ‘i hid art’ – the brilliant brainchild of Chris Fritton. The premise: artists hide art and leave a photo and a note on the i hid art website and when these creations are found, the finders can document their find on the same site. It’s like hide-and-go-seek with art!

And sooooo, if you’re in Toronto, go find my letterpressed book!

HINT: There’s a book about a lake tucked between row boats and bumper boats, in Toronto, just steps from the blue of Lake Ontario…

EXTRA HINT: It’s along the Martin Goodman Trail, near the windmill!

…get lookin’!!


Merry merry

Bookish surprises

When I was in Vancouver a few weeks back, I wandered into the lowercase reading room at the Regional Assembly of Text, only to find one of my creations on display! My heart skipped a beat!

My book is the one with the buttons…a poetry book with Amelia Earhart-inspired poems and photos of Susan Kendal dancing!

Victoria, B.C. was the final stop on Love Lettering Project IV…

The ocean and the mountains were so stunning, I had to stop on a huge log of bleached wood and weep.

Oh Victoria, land of the dramatic skies and tender mornings…

Oh Vancouver, with your green and grey and ocean and mountains…I have so much love for this city, it makes my chest ache. In between raindrops, I wandered with the ever lovely Christa Couture, cupid-extraordinaire and we love lettered this wonderful town…
