Board Book 3 Holiday in the country

 This is part 3 of an altered book project. The inspiration was to turn children's board books into altered books. I have enjoyed doing them in the past, and this return to the form was very satisfying.

Blue Moon Tides - artist book

This year for second year printmaking at NMIT our major task was to create an artist book.
I chose the theme of the moon and tides. I made 2 books - collographs mounted in  concertina books on Dutch etch 200 gsm paper.
This blue book cover is Indian hand made paper. The red moon tides cover is buckram.
I was fortunate to win  a generous prize donated by Magnani Papers Australia for which I am very grateful.

On the back of the pages are tide charts

Artisan Books

There is a display of artists books at Artisan Books in Gertrude St.
The exhibition is called OPUS.
Here are the details:

I have put in a concertina book titled 'A woman's work is never done' - on the theme of work.

One side is images of clothes - the other side is pages from Mrs Beeton's Book of Household management.

Collograph plates for artist book

These are my collograph plates ready for printing. The plates are for the assignment we have to do for printmaking at TAFE. There are eight plates. They will be printed as an artist book.
