Art Book

Lately, I've been making these art books that are really fun to make and flip through.

There are lots of steps involved in creating these but every step is something I like to do!  It starts with Gelli printing on both sides of white card stock.  You can get so many different textures using acrylic paints and texture tools I make myself.  Sometimes, I emboss on the surface.  Other times, I use stencils.  When the pages are dry, I cut them into 2" x 3-1/2" rectangles and then the fun begins.

I trim them into different shapes and use a Posca pen to draw around the edges.  I also gelli print a piece of mixed media paper, cut to 6" x 24" and fold to create the "spine" of the book.  Then I glue in all the small pieces, add a cover and it's done.  

Every artist book I make is unique.  Perhaps that's why I'm drawn to this art form.  It's never boring!

Your book looks like a fun project I’d like to try. I LOVE my Gelli plate and I have so many papers. Thanks for the inspiration!
