I can't believe it, but I finished my books arts assignment for next Monday last night. The assignment was to make a book using smell as an inspiration. I couldn't resist making my book inspired by coffee to go along with my theme. This time the book only smells slightly like coffee though. As you can see I was completely inspired by the paintings that I did yesterday in mixed media. I basically just redid them smaller for this book. Then instead of staining the paper with coffee I decided to put layers of vellum in between the pages with coffee rings on them. I used real coffee so it has a slight aroma to it. My teacher doesn't like it when you leave pages blank so I put coffee thumbprints on the backs of the pages. I didn't want any real design or drawing to compete with the little paintings so I thought that would be a nice touch.
p.s. thanks Brandon for taking the pictures!
