Come join me on a book making adventure. Scraps, I have lots of lovely
scraps and want to use them, but, many are too small for larger projects.
So, here is a tiny album, designed specifically for all those little
tattered and worn items. An old vintage book cover cut in half will be
the beginning for the 4 x 5 inch book.
We will use watercolor paper for the pages and add laces, trim, paints
and etc., to create a tiny masterpiece where you can incorporate your
favorite quotes, notes and little pictures from your collections. Our
little album will have a sewn spine and be bursting with treasures and
whimsy!
Supply List:
- Basics: scissors, rulers, etc.
- Tablet or sheets of water color paper, enough for 15 to 20 pages cut to 8
x 5 inches.
- All the tiny scraps you can muster
- Old buttons, embellishments and etc.
- Two or three colors of paint and you can also bring Portfolio crayons or
whatever you like for adding color. If we each bring a favorite color or
two we can share, which haves on lugging lots of paint colors.
- I am bringing a small sewing machine, but if you are driving and have
one to share it would be appreciated.
Teacher will bring:
- Book covers
- Small sewing Machine
- Binding materials, large needles, waxed linen thread and etc.
- Lots of scraps for you to use..
A Little About ME
Left New York City many years ago and landed
like Alice in a sort of strange wonderland deep in the
woods of Connecticut. Immediately, she began to
find haunting flights of fancy, curious old recipes, vintage oddities and ephemeral pages stashed in old
cupboards. And that is where the folly began…mixed media, collage ..paper and digital, handmade books, and tiny theaters began fill the house in the woods… objects of the everyday tucked into shadowboxes taking on the patina of age, tiny beeswax creations adorning the library of imagination and so on…to be continued.. In the meantime finished works available in various galleries, stores and published in Cloth Paper Scissors, Somerset Studio.
