I've participated several times with the Sketchbook Project of Brooklyn Art Library ) most recently in the 'tiny Sketchbook project' ) and despite good intentions and ordering my sketchbook well in advance , I always seem to need a looming deadline to motivate me.
For volume 14 , I chose the theme 'stitch and story' and after several false starts , was inspired to use some of the monoprints I'd done on fabric having reacquainted myself with them on EDAM book-making classes. When stitching , I'm always intrigued by how different the stitching can be on the backs , ' the unconscious side' so assembled several 'pages' with different monoprints/ sheets of cotton organdie glued together with bondaweb. I then had a fun time with them stitching on the train ( above) and even at home (below) !
These are the final 6 pages , front and back that made the cut ( I did a few more that didn't quite work ) . In the next post I'll show how they work together in the final book format
