AndrewFBaker DIY Publishing: Shelta
http://andrewfbaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/shelta.html
160;Monday, August 3, 2009. For this limited edition (only 5 made! Short story, I wanted to produce a printed document that had the look and feel of something both sacred and mundane, cared for and discarded. Utilizing fabric, tin-styled ceiling tiles, and a hand stitched binding, "Shelta" looks as if it could be a journal - which correlates to the writing within the piece itself - manufactured to be hidden amongst the remnants of the family involved.

AndrewFBaker DIY Publishing: Aquaponics
http://andrewfbaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/aquaponics.html
160;Monday, August 10, 2009. So today must just be a post-y day for me with this blog. And while this post does not really have anything to do with self-publication or the parameters of the self-publishing class, it does have a bit to do with self-efficiency and the DIY mentality. Plus I'm just super excited about it. I received my Farm in a Box from Atlanta-based Earth Sol. The yield on the plants is three to six times the yield of soil gardening per square foot! I've currently got organic Thai Basil an...

AndrewFBaker DIY Publishing: Howling at the Moon - a proposal
http://andrewfbaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/howling-at-moon-proposal.html
Howling at the Moon - a proposal. 160;Monday, August 10, 2009. Once upon a time, fairytales were –quite literally- the stuff of legend. They were the stories of the gods and the mortals, hovering about that limenal space between the two, and nearly always verging on the terrible. And they were fascinating, at least to me. The internal text layout has already been completed. Lime Glory Caps, a font with a gentle flourish, is used to accentuate the opening paragraph of each page, with Modern No. 20...I hav...

AndrewFBaker DIY Publishing: Market, Yourself
http://andrewfbaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/market-yourself.html
160;Friday, August 7, 2009. Has this ever happened to you? You've completed your masterpiece. Carefully bound the pages. Suffered papercuts and Hello Kitty bandages courtesy of your local Kinkos. Made sure your shipped a copy off to your Mom/Dad/Significant Other (or several copies if you are not from the south). And then sat back and watched with an ever-fading bliss as your hard work begins to collect dust. Well, no more! Afterall, the goal is to make. A little, right? Not throw it all to the wind.

Comments for the others. 160;Monday, August 10, 2009. So, I don't know if it's my computer or my browser or what, but apparently, I can not post a comment to anyone's blog if the comment box is embedded in the page. Pop-up comment boxes are fine. And Ian's blog, though embedded, is not a blogger blog, so it worked just dandy as well. At any rate, here are the comments to the other articles. Actually, to the vast majority of the articles. It is a really beautiful piece and so informative on so many levels.

AndrewFBaker DIY Publishing: July 2009
http://andrewfbaker.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Play it again, Sam. 160;Monday, July 27, 2009. I had some spare time this weekend between work and obsessively checking Facebook status updates to procrastinate from working on my novel even more by creating another Lulu book. I had been wanting to check out the new minibooks they have been advertising like mad, and I haven't personally done any full-color printing through them. So it is definitely a bit of an experiment for me. In the meantime, here is a link to the thing on Lulu. Apparently, I can't se...
