| I created this book for my mother as a "commemorative" of all the thoughts and childhood memories that came to mind in 2002 for Mother's Day. She said this was one of the best, if not THE best, present she has ever received. It was so meaningful to us... I am sure it will be more confusing to you.. and I am sorry some of the photos aren't all that clear. It was created with paste paper, Japanese stab binding, gouache and colored pencils. |

| I created this book out of love for my dear cousin, Caroline. It was a project created in my Reggie Ezell class in 2006. We were studying different hands and using different tools. I decided when Caroline saw some paper she liked while she was visiting that I had I would make her a little booklet. It not only holds meaningful quotes, but also some memories of our past that is sort of encrypted for only us to "understand". I used embossing tools as well as gouache and a C-Tech .25 pen, as well as Sennilier oil pastels and colored pencils. The paper used was from a stash I had received from a friend. It was from a paper mill in Canada called St. Armand. It was very luscious, hand made paper and I loved lettering on it. The gold I used was Schminke Pan Watercolor with Schminke Tro-Col powdered gouache added to it. Here is the site for the paper: St. Armand Paper Mill in Canada. |
