#alteredpaper

Inspired by the online Sktchy class I took on making marks with natural materials, lesson 2, presented by @joanmartin. Instead of adding the bleach-dipped leaves to a drawing/painting, I made the leaf pattern on a sheet of colored paper first, and then drew over it with graphite, brush pen, colored pencil and white marker. I tried to stay loose and restrained so that the lovely leaf pattern wouldn’t be hidden. I altered several other papers this way; hoping to draw/paint on those as well.

So I found the book on the left in a charity shop yesterday the same thing that I did approx 5 yrs ago. The book from 5 yrs ago is the image on the right. It became my second ever book sculpture and sent me on a path of self discovery as a artist when I finally realised that maybe I could work as an artist. I sold this book in the Mall Galleries, London. It was the first time I ever sold any work and it went for what I thought was a over priced £400. It’s been onward and upwards ever since. #upcycle #booksculpture ##booksculptures #shalmines #mallgalleries #alteredbooks #alteredpaper #bookart #bookcarving #carvedbook #paperartist
