Something for fun, for a change

I've been so focused on finishing jewelry and collages for sale lately for a rash of summer shows, but I just have one more show lined up. So I'm working on something just for fun and not for sale. It's a nice change of pace- I think it's important not to get too wrapped up in making things I think people will want to buy! This is a little collage book (a lot of the materials are being cannibalized from my failed attempt at a Daily Sketchbook Project. I got annoyed at how quickly that book filled up and became unwieldy, so this new one is an accordion book which is more expandable.

Collaborative Book Project: Women's Caucus for Art

The Women's Caucus for Art organized a collaborative book project, pairing up local artists with high school students. The books will be on display at the Central Branch of the Library this fall. Here's a page from the book I'm working on with Jasmine.

Bookmaking

New collaborative book project!

Here is the cover of a soon-to-be collaborative book I just sent to Joan Phillips (who also posts here)! She's sending me a book that I'll add to, and then we'll switch back and forth a few times, adding to each other's work.

You can see the rest of the pages from round 1 of the book I made on my site. I'll be documenting the process throughout to see how the pages evolve over time!
