New Post New Work

Haven't posted in a while.  I've been doing workshops, lots of book art stuff, watercolors and trying out markers, watercolor markers, watercolor crayons and sticks, inktense sticks......the list goes on.

Art Journaling & Books

For the last two years I have been concerned with art in books. I have learned how to sew signatures, do coptic stitches, make five fold leporello accordion books, make single sheet flexagon books. Its been somewhat of an obsession. Less about projects or process and more about how colors or textures or collage feels. I bought a pour mold and used my blender to make sheets of paper. I bound my own books and it was deeply satisfying. As an artist I have tried to create images to send out as ambassadors into the world. My books are much closer to my heart. They only serve to please me.
