Finally!!! Most all were finished with the Cornell book. Walker/Ashe books would need to be completed at home. Demonstrated today was a "Paint Chip" book with found materials. In the morning was where the real fun began and where most found their stride with abstracted forms. Abstract imagery took off and left little time in the end to get to the Mark Rothko/Agnes Martin/Barnett Newman book project. Oh well... will be able to add that lesson to a potential advanced Altered Books course?!
The Sewn/Collage Altered Flag Book: (in brief)
Drawings and collages in chaos on two pieces of paper
Images with textures as emphasis
Re-drawing, re-scribbling, re-working
Drawing A cut horizontal in strips
Drawing B cut vertically
Drawings woven, glue, Modge-Poged
Taped areas chosen
3" x 4" miniature collages began
Watercolor, sewing, lines abound
6 images flagged for importance
Cover of collages
Did we finish? Of course not.... homework!
I love this book...I'm just still working on it. I need more floss. I've been adding some beads for contrast and a bit of bling. I think I've spent 3 hours on it now.
