Hello to all the Bookarts friends!
We had a night filled with creativity and fun as we explore techniques for journaling and developing content/ideas for artist books.
At the meeting we bound a simple (very simple) book that then served as a workbook to try some different techniques and creative exercises.
We played with image transfer techniques, rubber stamping pages, watercoloring, using a plastic mesh and acrylics to create patterns and more.
Books on journaling:
- Julia Cameron’s The Sound of Paper: Starting from Scratch
- Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way
- D. Price’s How to Make a Journal of Your Life
- Gwen Diehn’s The Decorated Page
- Darlene Olivia McElroy & Sandra Duran Wilson’s Image Transfer Workshop
