A sample of some hand made books I have Made
Recycled hand made book.
The cover is brown packaging painted with
acrylic and colored pencil.
Inside the cover lined with scrapbook paper scraps.
The hard cover is the cardboard back of watercolor paper pad.
Old acrylic paintings are painted black on the back
and folded and bound as signatures inside the book.
This cover is repainted water color paper.
The calligraphy is written on scraps.
The pages are recycled junk mail envelopes.
The envelopes are marked with doodles, in white colored pencil.
The pages are out of order: this is the inside cover and 1st page.
I place cut-outs and stickers that I call trinkets
in the top of the envelope.
The signatures are sewn with a long stitch using black and white baker's twine.
