Once again, blogger seems confused about how and where to place the images when I upload multiples.The first image is the book's cover, by owner/artist Theresa Petermann of Pulaski, WI.
These are the latest from the Altered Book Round Robin, part of the Visual Journal Collective at Minnesota Center for the Book Arts. The second image is Out of Chaos (the second). It was produced first as a collage; a photo of the collage was downloaded to the computer, altered slightly (text added etc) and then printed onto Extravorganza. The fabric print was stamped (bird image in silver) and painted (watercolor), then glued to white tissue paper, which was in turn glued to white drawing paper. This gave the piece a somewhat translucent but bright base; the Extravorganza doesn't hold a very intense image. I sewed the resulting piece onto a page in the book, added some embellishments, and made a pocket behind it to hold some related ephemera (including a tag used in the original collage.)
The piece with the silver leaf "cloud" and the feather is Out of Chaos (the first.) This is just tissue paper and mylar on a drawing paper base, with some white acrylic paint around the edges. The feather is in mylar; the silver leaf is on the page behind the mylar. Two pages were removed from the book to make room; you see the remaining tabs to the left of the image. It's a Blue Jay feather.
Two pages in a book about "winged creatures," both titled Out of Chaos. The original volume in use is a style manual, and the title comes from the chapter heading for one of the sections in which I worked.
The lettered index tabs were added by the owner of the book.
