Here's a little collection of #french #vintage books that I'll be using for #handmade #junkjournaling. I'm thrifting today and will be looking for more in other colors.

We agree with Winston re making art, holding people close, being fully human and, we'd add, finding some joy in every day. Come on by the store and admire this #bookart (and, yeah, enjoy our aircon while you're here).

But funni...

And here's the write up! As things continue to go sideways, around the world & also so very close to home, making art & being fully human feel extra significant, so go do the things and hold your people close... www.butterfliesandaliens.com/stacks/the-m...

Scan of a book that has been altered. Left page is a collage made out of a page from another book, with the words obscured by crude strokes of black paint, and torn bits of paper. In white lettering has been written "let me down brutal."
The right page in the book is covered in masking tape, with a magazine cut out of a person in tight leather pants and black boots bent over and singing into a microphone. Underneath is handwritten in brackets "we always seem so composed"

Scan of a book that has been altered. On the left page is an erasure poem which reads: "I lose hope/ it's hard to survive/it's hard to breathe/ it's in the bones/ this tragedy we come home to." On the right is a collage of magazine photos showing various textures, such as a tiled wall, and a gate. A found poem reads: "I want to rewind the time and start over. I want oblivion."

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.

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 🪶

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.

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.

Mixed media artist conundrum:
Hmm, which tea to drink, which tea?

It clearly depends on which COLOR tea bag I need for my next art journal page!

Photo of four drawings on sheets of white paper, sitting on top of a keyboard. The first is a pencil drawing of two ape faces from Planet of the Apes - a chimp from the original (1968) and a gorilla from the remake (2001). The second is a pen drawing of Godzilla (c. 1984). Third is an ink sketch of Mt. Everest. And the fourth is two UFOs/flying saucers of different designs in thick black marker.

A handbound book is lying on a cutting mat, being held open by a hand. On the left page are black ink drawings of three UFOs, on the right page it says "PART ONE, THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE" and below the title is a square coloured map of Bermuda.

A handbound book is standing open on a green cutting mat. The photo is taken from above, to show the binding and lining papers. The lining paper is a retro looking pattern of wavy vertical lines in a dark pink creating ovals with alternating colours of light pink, a medium pink and a brownish green, The edges of the book pages are coloured red. The book is bound with two-screw post binding. The cover is a dark blue plain fabric.

Was searching for something & ran across this. Combined 2 books - a Bio of Picasso with "Bigfoot & Other Mysteries", and was adding art to the pages. I've still got the book. Quite proud of it - first time I'd bound anything.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. 🥰
