le corbusier, book dummy for “une petite maison”, (1954)

in 1954, le corbusier published the book, “une petite maison”. in it, he describes the house that he built for his aging parents on the shores of lake geneva. it is above all about the act of dwelling, an essay on the poetics of space. as gaston bachelard explains in his book of the same name, “the act of dwelling arises infallibly as soon as one has the impression of being sheltered.” le corbusier’s book is a series of lessons on the poetics of shelter. they begin with the title and dust jacket. “une petite maison” means not simply a quantitatively small house but especially a quantitatively small house. we sleep more soundly”, observes bachelard in a “little house” than in a large one. the “little house” calls for reveries of coziness associated with miniatures. this cozy seclusion is even suggested in the cover where le corbusier has drawn a broad black band around it’s surface, thereby placing it in it’s own sheltered nest.

So I’m making a children’s book?!?!?  I had to make a mock-up idea for one for my child’s lit class, and it ended up turning into something I hope to take to Kickstarter at some point!  Figured this is a timely book idea since bumbles are on the endangered list?? How dare!

How Many PB Drafts Does it Take...

How Many PB Drafts Does it Take…

…To make a polished enough manuscript to begin sending it to editors and agents?

Also, enjoy this giraffe I made awhile back:

It’s related I promise! (kinda)

I just finished the second draft of Stitching Butterflies (well, the second book dummy, this is probably draft fifteen as far as manuscript goes…) and I’m now moving on to Lou’s and Sue’s, a drastic change from a manuscript I wrote two…
