Metal Embossing as covers for books




These embossed metal pieces were created using lace, seed pods, dried flowers, and metal screening. Each object was placed underneath the metal and then pressed to pick up their textures.

Three hardcover books made with handmade papers.
These books can be used for sketching, writing,
 and documenting any kind of project.

Making Hardcover Books


A simple hardcover sketchbook made from book illustrations, handmade papers, and hand painted paste papers. These are all assembled and hand stitched together. 


These are the front and back covers of the book.
On the left is mat board covered in a piece of hand painted paste paper, right side up. On the right is matboard covered in a piece of  hand made paper, showing the inside of the cover after it has been glued. 


These are the pages made from a good sketch paper sitting in a book cradle, waiting to be stitched. Pushpins hold the booklet together and make holes for the thread.

Color Experiments on Paper



            

            

 

       

  
                                                                                     

 


Experimenting with color and painting on 
paper with a large brush, I can create many of 
these for future use in book making, small paintings, collage work and placing them side by side to see their effects.


Decisions can be made without commitment as I
move them around on a wall or table.
