Day 6 of #MakersMartch
Glue ❤️
My favourite glue is gel medium. I love integrating #collage into my #art - words, texture, objects, images, colour, shape. Glue it down!
Many feathers because I live surrounded by flocks of birds that gift me feathers 🪶

Journal page of a face with just eyes showing surrounded by collaged textured papers and dictionary text for definition of vision. Journal page "the holy bower" with collaged feather, fabric, paper, threads and a bower bird.

Looking to purchase a guillotine cutter that will be heavy duty enough to slice through old cloth wrapped textbook covers. Niche, I know. Use the pieces for collage. Any ideas? So appreciative.

One of my very early #alteredbooks for today’s #FebruARTY prompt of #fishyfeb. It’s a stretch?

Underwater #steampunk inspired theme. The idea is to keep things out of the landfill and transform them into art.

Art piece made from old book and found objects. Resembles shadow box with carved out pages. Left side with steampunk I speed gears. Right side underwater scene with small creatures and a big purple octopus in in a top hat in upper right corner. Lots of blues and teals.

As an artist I take old books destined for the landfill and repurpose them into art.

This one was inspired by and a dedication to the two years I lived in #Japan.

#totoro my favorite #miyazaki film.

Repurposed book, pages are glued and carved and reformed into a diorama or shadow box sculpture. This photo is a work in process before the pages or book has been painted. Repurposed book, pages are glued and carved and reformed into a diorama or shadow box sculpture. This photo is of the cover, it is painted light green, with the heart sutra written in Japanese collaged on the front along with a little shrine like space with a shelf of sacred objects, a red hanging lantern made of pages from the book, with the word dream in Japanese kanji on it, and a small roof overhang above it, also made from pages from the book. Repurposed book, pages are glued and carved and reformed into a diorama or shadow box sculpture. This photo is of the inside of the book. The pages have been rolled back and painted light green to form columns which are collaged with more of the heart sutra in Japanese script. There is a shelf inside a carved out niche with a Totoro figurine seated in it.

Art project resembling an Ouija board. Made from an old book reused from the trash lord up flat like a board. In. Towns and blacks. The letters in the middle of the ouija board are all scrambled around though and unreadable. The style of the planchette is slightly steampunk like.

This may not be the best photo… but this was one of my favorites.

I take #books that are going to be thrown away and repurpose them into #art. There was a monster hiding at the end of this one.

Inspiration comes in many forms. #grover

This was a commission piece for my godmother, who grew up on a farm in #losangeles of all places.

I make art from old books that are going to be thrown away. #assemblageart

She wanted a book from her mom memorialized this way. I was honored to create piece this. 🥰

I take old books that are ratty and tatty and are going to be thrown away and make them into art.

I also believe in #fairies. ✨🧚🏾‍♀️✨

I paint but I also take old #books that are destined for the landfill and make art out of them. I rescue and transform them giving them new life. 🫶🏼🌀📚💙

We come into the world alone,
we go away the same
We're meant to spend the interlude between
in closeness
or so we tell ourselves.
But it's a long way from the morning to the evening.
