Monday - Book Art






























About five years ago I had a Book Arts Show at a local College library.
It took nine months to make all the pieces, a difficult task while working my day job.

This is a box with drawers that I constructed (I love box making!) and filled with
various objects that were then illustrated in a companion book.
Each drawer also had a map, stamp and scenic vista on an accompanying page.
It would have been too many photos to show everything!

This past weekend I tried my hand at book making again but was not successful.
I hope that by reviewing old work and being diligent about sitting at my drawing
table I will soon be making books again.
Spring is always a good time to start working.  : )

I apologize for the rather blurry photos...it's a skill I need to work on.
