Away it goes!

Here's Traci's Book, via Jan Cohen.

It was a lot of fun working with Traci's varities of paper and Jan's fabric scraps! Here are some of my favorite pages.

Movin' Beck's Book

I guess I just like to play with my scraps and buttons but figured it was appropriate for Becksbuttons Book. ..... say that 3x fast........here it is before it gets movin' on......-- Jan

Off Goes the Book

A beautifully bound accordion book arrived in my studio at the beginning of May. This is what happened while it was here on two pages, one fold.

Right about that time I was subbing for an art teacher at an elementary school. The teacher said do whatever I wanted with the kids, so gave them a lesson on cubism via self portraits....so that was the inspiration.

The paper inside the book is so soft and thick, almost like fabric, and the colored pencils felt really creamy while drawing.

What's Up Philly Book Exchangers?

Jan's book invites one to think about tactile contrasts! So many patterns and textures to explore...

MaryJo's book update!

Tonight I'm passing along MaryJo's book to Ruth - but here are some photos before it continues its journey!!

I mixed it up on this one, a little paint, a little fabric. I LOVE the book and had to stop myself from doodling on all the pages :) Good choice MaryJo!

May: Burlap + Embroidery + Beads

This is a really lovely little book made of burlap...I've been adding to it w/ embroidery and beads...not exactly sure how it'll turn out because I'm just kind of winging it, but we'll see...

Sorry the pics aren't great, I've been working on this project on the train...and took the pics with my cell phone.
