artist book - star - a peek inside


artist book - star - a peek inside
Originally uploaded by anongrrl


wasn't our workshop with jennifer cool? i had a lot of fun, even if i was pretty slap happy from lack of sleep. sometimes it just makes glue mishaps that much more amusing, right?

right.

anywho, i haven't finished my big orange sketchbook-thing get, but today i made a smaller book, which measures about 7.5 x 4.75 x 1 inch, with the same technique. you can poke around the guts, so to speak, if you click on over to my flickr set on this book, or go see what it looks like closed.

you can also see a little sneak peek at the spine of the orange book. gasp! it's finished, i swear! once it's embellished, i'll post it here.

i was concentrating so hard on keeping glue out of my hair, that i really didn't take a lot of workshop progress photos. i know randel did, so i leave it to him to post some here!

Your new little book looks terrific, Nicci... and I look forward to seeing the finished shots of the one you started in the workshop.

I finished mine and took some photos today, but have no idea how to post them. Great to see your and Randel's photos though. The workshop was really good, and it was great to see everyone.

thanks kathleen!
i think we need to do a mini workshop on blogging so everyone can figure out how to use this tool... which i really feel is invaluable. blogs can function just as well as a personal website.
i know a lot of artists who use them exclusively to host their work, and get some extra sales that way.
it's great for promo. Blogger makes it easy to upload photos (free) if you sign up for an account.
if you don't want to fuss with that yet, i could upload them for you if you email them to me, and post anything you would like to say about it/them.
