I have been exploring ways to use books and book parts as art materials. (This Months featured class – On sale save $30 – now only $95)
Above I used part of a black out poem and book cloth and book pages for collage.
I love hunting for books with special qualities. I like the large font of children’s books. I am lucky to have a great thrift store close by that sells 6 books for just $1.00.
Today I borrowed the spine cover idea from one of the 18 projects in the Books as Art Materials class for my current sketchbook. These signatures are worked up separately and then glued together. The book page spine cover will give it a nice finish.
Black out poems are always fun and an easy way to get started. Sometimes I cut them up and use them as collage bits.
Lastly I am inspired by images in books. I love finding new ways to draw trees. So take advantage of the June sale and enjoy the 18 projects in Book as ART Materials. Get all the details on the workshop page.
