Sketchbooks

My collage for this week is on black paper with text from the Tibetan Book of the Dead and imagery from "Mitchell's Death" by Linda Montano.

This week's collage from one of my sketchbooks is the companion piece to the page from last week, and next spread in the book.

This week's collage from one of my books has bits from a roll of film, a poster, some wrapping paper, and a magazine image. The orange envelope and red waxed paper frames from other parts of the sketchbook add to the warm feel.

This spread from one of my journals is clearly a companion to last week's collage – the two pieces share the figure and the make up window.

This collage from one of my books has a map combined with multiple magazine images. I especially like the eye shadow serving as window or building.

This week's sketchbook page is the end page from one of my books. Ephemera, magazine images, and a fortune – can anyone translate this?

This page from one of my journals has torn swatches of color from an advertisement, a map, and an image from La Sonámbula. I'm picky about print quality, so a book with 25 copies means a lot of misprints.

Layers of vellum that obscure and reveal a magazine tear sheet and one of my grandfather's photo's. The image is from my Leiffing Through History piece: an installation, assemblage, and artist book dedicated to him.

This week's random journal page includes a sketch for the wearable books – both the finished one and thoughts on how to make wax paper disks for the second.

This week's random page from one of my books. A reject print from La Sonámbula with some waxed paper – one of my favorites for book covers and end pages.
