I have finally
completed my mini collage book. I didn't start off with any
particular theme in mind, except that I used pages from a paperback
printed in a Far Eastern language as the base for each collage.
To recap: the book
measures 4” x 5”, using black paper with a glued spine. The
covers have been collaged with book pages, teabag paper, leaves,
printed tissue, gesso and a postage stamp. A printed paper band acts
as a closure.
The 17 collages measure
3” x 4” and utilise the small sample pads of paper sent to me by
Hahnemuhle. These were coated with gesso on both sides then collaged
with book pages, printed tissue, teabag paper, stamps and tiny
sketches, with varying additions of paint, ink, pencil, texture
paste, fabric and thread. Instead of gluing the collages into the
book, I used transparent photo corners which worked quite well.

Sonia! very nice book and I am intrigued by transparent photo corners! I will add you to my blog list!
ReplyDeleteThank you for adding me to your list, Cat. I will have to get around to doing some reciprocal links on my blog. I wasn't quite sure in which order I wanted to add my collages to the book (or even change them for new ones), so the photo corners allowed that flexibility.
