Arcadian Gliders / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Wheatley, Steve; Lane B., 1981
Consists of a boxed set of nine papercard model gliders to be cut from the prints. Each glider has been embellished with a military decal of the countries that fought World War II along with the name of a garden plant that has been printed on the rear wing. This was published in an unlimited edition. William Allen comments: Outer box made by the cult small press publisher Brian Lane. Box contains bag of elastic bands, nine silkscreen prints of different Arcadian glider kits and an instruction booklet. "Each airplane is embellished with a military decal and the name of an appropriate common garden feature has been printed on the rear wing. When the airplanes have been constructed, they may either be displayed together as a squadron or, if you have access to a garden, they should be carefully placed in the relevant spot to act as markers or name tags and a pleasing focus of interest for when the flowers are out of season." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Archive for Tea-Bag Mine / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Cherry, Norman., 1973
Finlay proposes a collaboration with a Kelso jewelry maker, Norman Cherry, for a tea-mine.

It will then be posible to dangle it at th end of a chain to make tea. He encloses a diagram of a mine frm a naval book on mines to illustrate his point (diagram not in Archive).
