Paste Papers

flour paste and acrylic on Reeves BFK
For Book Arts. Use flour to create a paste to make a glue to create covers for future projects. My paste was super lumpy so I found this project to be a bit difficult. I do like some of the affects I got though.
Book of Textures
9 x 4
wood, twine, metal paint, modge podge, crackle paint, metal, acrylic
For Book Arts. Make a book without paper. To make my book I used scrap pieces of wood, decorative metal, dyed twine, metal paint, patina solution, glitter, glue, acrylic paint, & crackle paste. It is an exploration in texture. A book without words.
Exploring Textures
various sizes
wood, metal paint, crackle paint, metal, acrylic
I love when my classes inspire each other. I used the techniques in Mixed Media to inspire the book for my Book Arts class. To create the first pieces, I taped the decorative metal onto wood and painted with metal paint and patina to create covers for my books. The second one is blue acrylic paint, crackle paste, & bronze metal paint on wood.
