New project for 2012 - Book Art Object

A Fork in the Road

I'm taking part in a book exchange, the blog describes it so:

Book Art Object
is an informal group of book artists scattered around the globe. Under the BAO banner we make small editions of handmade artists' books in response to texts, sharing them with each other and the world.

well it's actually much more than that as you may see if you follow this link:

Those taking part were allowed to make a choice from 100 titles, using this as a springboard for their ideas for a handmade book.

My choice was 'A Fork In The Road'

I've made some sketches, much has ended up in the bin :)

But I've got some ideas to share with you over the next few days....weeks??

For now I will just share one.

The image above:

She has been summoned by a letter.

This piece is in my brown paper sketchbook.

It's a photocopy that I've worked into with gold ink and pen, adding an overlay of printed acetate.

more soon.
