School is now finally out though I cannot say the same for Elena. I'm sure for many others school is still in session and I am sorry that you are not me taking a vacation. Truly I am.
I finally took some pictures of a book I had to make in the beginning of the year. Our project was to make 100 little squares relating to one topic and mine was: PIGS.
The cover's made of soft cotton cloth with cut out piggies. You can see where I put the cut out pigs in the second picture. That's supposed to be the inside cover. The book cover is sealed by buttons at the top of the book so the cover's more like a wrap around. Like a burrito. Like a pork filled burrito.
Onto the squares!
For many I used collages. I had a 10001 magazines in a storage called an overstuffed closet. It was either collages or drawing pigs all over the place.
One other technique I really like doing is to drop a bit of coffee or tea and stain a picture or just regular watercolor paper. The result is a grand explosion of abstract and for the toppings, I added a drawing of whatever I saw in that apbstract splash. Of course the drawing is related with pigs. And yes, I just spelled "abstract" wrong.
This technique is actually pretty popular because it's easy to do and always looks nice without looking the same each time. You should try it. Now.
OMG it's SO CUTE!!! <3 im loving the piggys
ReplyDeleteI especially LOVE the covers!
