BOOK ART CONTINUED...

I FOUND THIS GORGEOUS BOOK IN A BOOK CHARITY SHOP, IT BROKE MY HEART TO CUT IT  UP BUT I FEEL I'M GIVING IT A SECOND AND DIFFERENT CHANCE AT BEING A PIECE OF LITERATURE (OR ART!)

 I FOUND THIS BOOK IN THE SAME PLACE. I LOVED THE COLOUR AND TEXTURE OF THE COVER AND ITS COMBINATION OF ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTOGRAPHS MADE IT IDEAL FOR A PIECE OF ALTERED BOOK ART

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT! I USED THE CUT OUT PIECE FROM  THE COVER TO MAKE A MINIATURE BOOK FOR SKETCHING!

THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON SOMEBODY ELSE. EACH STUDENT WAS PAIRED WITH ANOTHER AND WE HAD TO PRODUCE A SET OF POSTCARDS THAT REPRESENTED THEM. HERE ARE MINE...
