recently i posted a page about 3 drawings i did on rusted text paper
what i didn’t mention was that i featured them in a handmade artist book
i used upcycled cardboard and found objects as well as some extra rusted papers, such as sheet music
i also added plant dyed wool and silk, and – of course – stitch
holes were cut into the pages and ‘screened’ with thread, as an experiment to allow the reader to glimpse other parts of the book
i was also interested to see how these holes allowed the light in, which is why i took so many photos!

I love the artist book! it is not the normal type book that one sees; it is better! I like how you took your drawings and placed them in a location. I am a huge fan of using found objects in artwork and I love how you used that here.

I’m so glad you like it – thank you for your lovely comments! I have to be creative about how I display my artwork, since it’s expensive to frame everything. Makes me think outside the box … =D
