Cornell. Bookbinding with shadows. Colour and the back doubler.

Colour and texture to the boards, mixed media applied to create depth and layers. Words high-lighted others hidden.

Work now begins on the duoblres. First the back doubler, French text, the Mona Lisa.

Acrylic paint (rough worked)

Then removing layers. Still not complete but now my attention turns to the front doubler.
