This is the kind of book that happens when you are sitting around in the studio visiting with friends. It's made from some of the nifty paint samples that have four different shades of a color separated by nicely perforated lines that fold very well. It's a concertina (accordion) of sorts, but the pages have been glued shut so they are more "page-like." Did I mention that the different colors are also different widths - thus the different sized pages. It needed a little something, and besides, the two cards had to be joined somehow, so I punched holes and wound telephone wire through them with a bunch of pink and pink-friendly beads and buttons.
Do you know how many things the word "pink" means? Neither did I. It is: a color, a flower, a pointy edge, a poke, a hunting jacket, a pair of pants, a boat, perfection, a town in Iowa, a Communist sympathizer, a fish, to pierce with tiny holes...and a few more that are obsolete words. I suppose that is what this book should be about someday. Or maybe about places and/or people named Pink.

And, as a hunting jacket, it's always red. Go figure.
It's not a "pink" if it's not red.
But, is it a book if it's not...
Gotta love the paint samples. This is one of my favorites so far.
