Happy New Year!
I recently had the pleasure of taking my first-ever online workshop. The class, offered through Jeanne Oliver (dot com) was a mixed-media class titled “The Bookmaker”. It was taught by Roxanne Evans Stout. Students created a “book”, starting with a vintage or contemporary tin. Various techniques were learned and our books soon started to take shape. I thoroughly enjoyed the class!
Not owning a vintage tin, I purchased a new tin online. My tin measured 5” x 7” x 1”. Because my tin was new, and lacking the character of an older tin, I pretty much covered the entire surface. “Pages” were made from watercolor paper torn to size.
While many students incorporated rusted nails, washers, etc. in their books, I took my own path. I made use of my large collections of fabric, buttons, and lace!
