"Altered
Books, Collaborative Journals, and Other Adventures in Bookmaking"
by Holly Harrison
Soft
cover, 128 pages, color photographs
You
no longer hear "Don't color in your books!" In fact, one
of the hottest art forms these days is altered books. Whether you
work in collage, art stamping, scrap booking, or any of the paper
and book arts, this volume is for you. Author Holly Harrison documents
the process from selecting a book to page layout to using the computer
to digitally enhance your art.
Another
section of this inspiring book deals with the phenomenon of the collaborative
journal movement. There are wonderful photographs of a journal that
traveled among a group of artists, with their comments on subjects
ranging from the techniques used to the experience of participating
in a journal exchange.
But
this is more than a how-to book. There are multiple photographs of
altered books with techniques and comments from the artists who created
the books. There are "Technique Highlights" that are an
inspiration to get you thinking of even more ways to alter your book.
Books become sculpture, and you just won't know where to start first
as you jump into this exciting art form.
This
book also contains a gallery of pages from altered books, as well
as a resource guide for products. Of course Stampington & Co.
is listed as a resource, and you can go to our Art
& Crafting Essentials page to check out all the wonderful
products we offer!
This
is truly a book you must have in your art reference library.
