The 10 Project: Edition of 1

Restore an old manual typewriter. 

Place a blank piece of 8 ½ by 11 Onion Skin paper into the typewriter.   Roll the paper to the typical starting place on the page for a document.   Type continuously, returning on each link until you have reached the normal stopping place at the bottom of the page.   Remove the paper from the typewriter. 

Using a rectangular two tone rubber eraser, compose words and phrases through erasure.  Be sure to sue the pink side of the eraser so as to not tear the onion skin.  When you have finished this composition of erasure, insert an 8 ½ by 11 piece of ecru linen paper into the typewriter.   Roll the paper to the correct height and retype the composition of erasure as a finished work.   Remove from the typewriter.


Date and sign using a Parker ballpoint pen.  Add any embellishments, doodles, drawings you see sit.  Announce the publications of this edition of one.
