An article a day

I have an archive of fabulous art and design journals and most of these remain unread!

Hence my new target of reading one article each day.  So far, so good!

Yesterday, I read an article about Romanticism in Tate Etc magazine linked to the Romantics exhibition Tate Britain.

Today I have read The Bibliophile in Varoom! describing the work and career of Audrey Niffenegger as Book Artist and book lover. 

 I aim to keep you posted on all articles and inspiration!

MOI

Moi (2011) is a unique hand bound artist's book.

I created the text block using cut up illustrations from my self-portrait series which I have bound using traditional French binding stitch.

I'm really happy to be back in the bookbinding zone :-)

First Artist's Book of 2011

I am so happy to have created an artist's book this morning :-)

Blue Bound Book (2011)

I'm really pleased with the outer cover but want to investigate and revisit the use of beautiful papers and diverse binding techniques for the sewn sections inside.

Here's to a whole lot more making in 2011.....

Finding the time.....

I have enjoyed knitting miniature book cosies for miniature artist's books (yet to be made)....

...when i find the time!

More papercut fun!
