Altered Book Lover: Back side of Red/Yellow spread complete

This is the back side of the Red/Yellow color swap spread I blogged about last Friday. I wanted to keep it flat because the front side was so textural.

I began with several different colors of paint chips, then dry brushed gesso over them. Next I cut out and added copied images of Thai kimonos. The really cool thing about these is, Norma, who I am making this spread for, sent me the original flyer that these were copied from. I attached the name of the swap using gold eyelets since I couldn't find any yellow or red ones.

Bleubeard and I welcome you

Art, including the journey, background techniques, sewing on both paper and fabric, new experiments, photos, failures, and successes will be shared on this site. I have removed my e-mail address until such time as I can get it to work again. Thank you for understanding. You can always leave a note on my blog and I will visit you.

Please check out my Previous Collaborations link above to see what projects I have been involved in over the past 12 years. Current and ongoing projects only are shown below.

Occasionally, Silent Sunday will showcase photos of my home, neighborhood, or community. A picture is often worth a thousand words.
