Twentysomething and restless, Skye flits between cities and stagnant relationships until she meets Scottie, a disarming and disheveled British traveler, and Pieces, an enigmatic artist living in New York. The three recognize each other as kindred spirits—Black, punk, whimsical, revolutionary—and fall in together, leading Skye on an unlikely adventure across the Atlantic. They live a glorious, subterranean existence in 1990s London: making multimedia art, throwing drug-fueled parties, and eking out a living by busking in Tube stations, until their existence is jeopardized by the rise of CCTV and policing. In fluid and unrelenting prose, Jamika Ajalon's debut novel explores youth, poetry, and what it means to come terms with queerness. Skye Papers is an imaginative, episodic group portrait of a transatlantic art scene spearheaded by people of color—and of the fraught, dystopian reality of increasing state surveillance.

An empowering story of a woman who loses everything but gradually finds love, friendship and meaning out of the ashes of her former privileged life.

But the long apprenticeship to her career was her childhood passion: she has been drawing on, cutting up, stamping on and pasting bits of paper together since she was very young. Not so long ago, Skye Rogers spent a whole summer sitting around her lounge room cutting and pasting and drawing and sewing like a woman possessed! Some of the looks she received were on the 'astonished' side: this wasn't productive, this wasn't what a grown woman should do, this wasn't 'making money'. From her fever of creativity that summer came her burgeoning little business, Skye's the Limit, a unique range of stationery and gifts, each product created with Skye's unique sense of style. As her business grew and expanded, Skye was often asked, 'How did you come up with/do that?' Realising that there are so many people out there wanting a few tips on bringing some ideas together in an easy-to-follow fashion, Skye started collecting projects that she had admired or completed herself over the years and developed them into a beautiful book of 30 paper craft projects to do at home to help and inspire others in their creative journey. PAPER BLISS has fantastic paper craft projects for all levels: from those at 'infants school' and only at paper-aeroplane level to more advanced projects for 'paperians' to get their teeth into, to those at paper high school who want to advance their skills with some more complex and elaborate projects.

Whether it's the simple completion of something that inspires you, a gift for a special friend or spending part of a day with the kids away from more pressing demands, you might be surprised by what you find.
