20th Century Icon number 3. A homage to Picasso.

 

My biblionautic chums and friends.
A busy weekend resulted in the complete or artists book commission I have been working on being finished, bar a few tweaks here and there and, of course, the box.
40cm x 28cm x 2cm when closed. Materials used are many and diverse, including leather, book cloth, sacking, paper, packing boxes to name a few. Techniques include hand printing, collage, oil and acrylic hand painting (other ways of applying paint are available) bri-collage and applied mixed media.
A drum leaf text block, laminated board attachment with a fixed back board binding. Full 'Coppered' edge decoration.
Please note there are other ways of doing things and opinions..... spelling and grammar. Please further note, the opinion of the author may change at any moment. This is due to having an open mind... of sorts.

The Complete Book

 

My biblionautic chums and friends.
WIP. A complete book (Artists' Book) commission. Having spent a long... long time on the text block I now progress to the binding.
A 'Fixed Back Board' Structure. This structure will allow for a far more sculptural platform to work on... The image gives us a view of the first steps, as I say, work in progress.
