Journal & Bookmaking
|
I am a journal 'aholic'. Anything that looks like a journal I almost always have to have. Needless to say, I have quite a stash of recycled materials and ephemera in my book making endeavours. You can see some results of my efforts on this page.
Ephemera I have a number of boxes of ephemera I have collected over a number of years. Brochures, tickets, labels, newspaper and magazine cuttings, baggage tags from airlines, postage stamps, post bags etcetera much of it I had collected while in Australia. There are stories behind my collections and you never know where and what the inspiration of the collection might lead to. Small books I have made On this page are some books I have made. One a small booklet using a label which came attached to a large poly-type sack that encased a couple of large books I had bought online. A worthwhile experience I really enjoy making books and the design of this handmade book from a baggage label was inspired by a wonderful book called 'Eco Books' by Terry Taylor published by Lark Books - an excellent book full of the most wonderful ideas for using recycled materials to create a huge array of quirky and arty handmade books. |
