Last May, I made paste paper for the first time, at Menucha with the Portland Art Collective. Suzie Wolfer was kind enough to bring Paste Paper as a project and showed anyone who wanted how to do it. As always, I became obsessed with it and practically made it till all the paint was gone--mine and everyone else's!
This weekend, I reacquainted myself with the sheets I made and decided to cover Composition Books with them for the store. I have been making painted or covered Composition Books for myself for at least 9 years. I use them for my list of things to do and to jot down ideas and thoughts. At first I began using them just for myself and then them as gifts. I began selling them a couple years later. Every year, I have made a different style, usually using a new technique that I have learned that year. Above are scans of the book covers...

Your blog looks great Lenall! I especially like these shots where you grouped similar colors of your paste paper together. I look forward to seeing what you do here!
ReplyDeleteI agree the grouped colors look good, it reminds me of bolts of fabric.
