Nice looking pasty with a genuine hand crimp as well, we do a similar version...genuine cornish with veg farmed in Newquay, hand filled and hand crimped! Congrats on a great blog!
Thank you for introducing me to some new pasty terminology - I was unaware of the 'hand crimping' distinction before, though I realise now it gives that nice crusty, lumpy pastry edging. Perhaps you can answer a query? People often say that historically Cornish pasties had a corner containing a sweet filling, such as jam or apple (when it was miners' food). Is this true or myth? And are any such pasties available commercially? Perhaps I will make my own recipe...
'Matchbox Rizla Drawings' blog began life as a place to exhibit a collection of my drawings - each 'Rizla Drawing' is made on a cigarette paper, folded, and placed in a used matchbox. Please look at some of the earlier posts to view the archive of Rizla Drawings. My blog has evolved into an ongoing reference point for the various art exhibitions and projects in which I am involved - a combination of information, documentation and reflection. Please feel free to contact me at matchboxrizla@gmail.com or to post a comment on the blog. Another of my projects is walkwalkwalk. Have a look at Honesty Box to see my tissue drawings. There are more of my rizlas on the Sober Rizlas blog.
In 2010 I produced A Pamphlet of Extracts From 'Body', containing a selection of texts from my book Body, about the traces and manifestations of time, memory and loss. I used the pamphlet in my Digging Performance, when I performed a ritual of reading, digging and burying. You can see pictures of the pamphlet here.
In 2009 I produced Dust, a hand-stitched artists' book, in the form of a pamphlet. A second edition was published by Site Projects in 2010. Dust contains a sequence of my texts and drawings which refer to the 'bin scavengers', the Victorian dust heap and ideas of memorialisation and filth. Details of the 2nd edition here and the 1st edition here.
