In book arts we didn't get a whole lot of books made. Well actually we didn't make a single book. We had a long critique and then made this amazing paper with wheat paste. We mixed acrylic paint into the wheat paste and apply it liberally to wet paper. Then we used grout combs and our fingers to make designs. When the paste and paint dries it settles completely flat while still maintaining a three dimensional quality. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I completely forgot to take a photo of said paper making but I will have one next week. For our next homework assignment we have to do a book inspired by smell. I think I'll be just fine considering my last two books smelled like coffee. This time I'm going to change things a bit. Until then, here is a mixed media painting I did last night.
