In a few days I will be heading up to
Haystack, on Deer Isle, ME to spend a week making Transparent books with
Sas Colby. I have played with any transparent material that has crossed my path. I tried, dryer sheets, tracing paper, bubble wrap, clear packaging, tea bags, cd case, vellum, envelopes, zip lock bags, paper with cut outs, sheer ribbon and an old bait bag that I found at the sea shore. I like tracing paper, vellum, and bubble wrap. I am reminded of
Angela Lorenz. I saw some of her work at a show at the
Addison Gallery at few years back. I loved how her books took all sorts of shapes, from a bacon bits can to the shape of denim jeans.

How fun! I wish I was joining you.
Thanks Leslie I hope to share the experience with some pictures and posts.
sounds like fun, looking forward to seeing the fun things that come out of the workshop. Have a great time. Hhm, dryer sheets, I’m gonna try that!
