A few more pictures from the book I did as a final project in one of my summer classes. These are C, G, and H. The ladybug is mostly a collage of 3 papers, with colored-pencil highlights and black-ink spots and legs. The spinybacked orbweaver is Chinese stick ink and gouache, mostly done with a folded pen. The beetle is a piece of ink-jet blue-colored paper (a scrap from an artist book with a blueprint background that I don’t think is on my website anywhere) with stick ink and white ink. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it looks rather like a bandana print.
I enjoyed doing a sort of survey of techniques in the book, but if I were to do a book to enter in an exhibition, I’d like to try and limit myself to one of the techniques. I think. Who knows until the doing of it, right?
Very cool, Beth! Thanks for sharing the photos.
Looks great Beth. I think it is awesome you going back to school. Hope to see more books.
Totally cool post and nice blog!!!
