It allows me to both keep track of where my various works-in-progress are, but it also is inspiring. I like how elements of the printed page may show in my final work, and I like that when finished, the book is transformed into a completed art journal.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I choose a vintage hardback book that is a size and format that I like, and one that doesn't have too many pages. Kids books can work well for this. My local library sells discarded hardback books for $1, which is a great price for a journal. I still usually remove some pages and, if the pages are very thin, I may glue two pages together to make a stronger substrate for collage and paint.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">A recycled book used for art-making is generally referred to as an "altered book." I think of mine as "altered book art journals."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I lightly gesso the pages so that some print still shows through and then I work in either single or double-page spreads. I usually leave the backside blank, as I like to allow for the possibility of removing pages later for sale or framing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some photos showing both a prepared (blank) pages, and then just a few images from my most recent altered book art journals.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you'd like to see more altered book art, you can find many photos of them on-line, and on Instagram you can check out the account @oldbookrevivalists or the hashtag #oldbookrevivalists.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-61vbzk5ctbg/X1piu_9IivI/AAAAAAAACfs/eDTYxDS3cBYoSSrwYv0hTfKTS0wGdpWvQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1714/2BF04E21-D355-4F33-B436-BEEE236800F0.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1464" data-original-width="1714" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-61vbzk5ctbg/X1piu_9IivI/AAAAAAAACfs/eDTYxDS3cBYoSSrwYv0hTfKTS0wGdpWvQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/2BF04E21-D355-4F33-B436-BEEE236800F0.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bOj5oZoVokY/X1pives4YoI/AAAAAAAACf0/vr9iVlcky846nYklXrC3aIpoZet22uOUgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2016/2EAA0157-5A3C-456E-B6AE-08D7A31B4241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bOj5oZoVokY/X1pives4YoI/AAAAAAAACf0/vr9iVlcky846nYklXrC3aIpoZet22uOUgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/2EAA0157-5A3C-456E-B6AE-08D7A31B4241.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZISkeyrq9Tc/X1pivhYUjwI/AAAAAAAACf4/OdsxK_6HkBEN0cQg4AB9tvqokCULm2f0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1764/2EB63FFC-D3BC-4DFD-85B8-CA311F28A24C.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1464" data-original-width="1764" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZISkeyrq9Tc/X1pivhYUjwI/AAAAAAAACf4/OdsxK_6HkBEN0cQg4AB9tvqokCULm2f0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/2EB63FFC-D3BC-4DFD-85B8-CA311F28A24C.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6xa6vjM-f64/X1piu6hVeTI/AAAAAAAACfo/37mWyQ_o_YUtB6ghQtb7mOzK26jrym30wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1866/13353469-C203-4D86-9A7B-CC750B956D5E.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1866" data-original-width="1494" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6xa6vjM-f64/X1piu6hVeTI/AAAAAAAACfo/37mWyQ_o_YUtB6ghQtb7mOzK26jrym30wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/13353469-C203-4D86-9A7B-CC750B956D5E.JPG" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-caFn_Cwh-uI/X1piu_doaUI/AAAAAAAACfw/Ez7qPXKXq_AqfWbe_dUndBaJj4R7orS0gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1964/18708828-01D3-4E01-8A40-DF7E7B424C56.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1472" data-original-width="1964" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-caFn_Cwh-uI/X1piu_doaUI/AAAAAAAACfw/Ez7qPXKXq_AqfWbe_dUndBaJj4R7orS0gCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/18708828-01D3-4E01-8A40-DF7E7B424C56.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5q7x8YLb8cc/X1pi21fL3GI/AAAAAAAACf8/pwBKgmyRTN4vyIQLN2dMCOKscMBvUGAwQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1604/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-09-10%2Bat%2B1.09.58%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1218" data-original-width="1604" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5q7x8YLb8cc/X1pi21fL3GI/AAAAAAAACf8/pwBKgmyRTN4vyIQLN2dMCOKscMBvUGAwQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-09-10%2Bat%2B1.09.58%2BPM.png" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><p><br /></p>Jennifer Wilkin Penickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06209490037026247982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831830236429789885.post-41297776832605139632019-07-17T04:43:00.002-07:002019-07-17T04:44:27.874-07:00Inkblots<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yesterday we made inkblots to start out this week’s Carriage House art camp. The kids loved making them and then we then looked at Margaret’s Peot’s book “Inkblot” together and the kids got ideas for transforming their blots into creatures. I think the results are terrific and they made so many inkblots that we have enough set aside in the drying rack to use in the coming days when there is a bit of extra time.</span></span><br />

Here are some of them:</span></span></span><br />

The kids had a great time making cardboard guitars by assembling basic cardboard shapes, painting them ... and then adding frets, bridges and tuning pegs made from found objects. And then strings, too, of course.</span><br />

There are not many spots left, but here they are:<br />
<br />
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">

<br />Art instruction will involve a wide variety of techniques and materials -- large and small projects, 3D and drawing/painting, collage and much more. We'll be inspired by important artists of the past, by ancient art, and by contemporary artists, too.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bring a snack, drink and lunch. Weather permitting we will take a break around the corner at Volta Park. The cost of one week-long session is $200. All supplies included. Payment is due in full at the time of registration. There are no camp make-ups or refunds for absences.<div>

<div>
I will be doing my usual fun variety of types of projects--very mixed media--but I want to have an extra-special project each week. So far I have thought of:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Polymer clay pendants</div>
<div>
Patterned and painted colorful clay pendants</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Soap-making </div>
<div>
small glycerine soap in molds, with either flowers or tiny toys embedded in them</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Decoupage</div>
<div>
like collage, but on the underside of clear glass plates, creating a wonderful useable keepsake (no dishwasher, though)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pirate Printing </div>
<div>
printing t-shirts and bags using public utility covers in Georgetown sidewalks</div>
<div>

I will be doing my usual fun variety of types of projects--very mixed media--but I want to have an extra-special project each week. So far I have thought of:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Polymer clay pendants</div>
<div>
Patterned and painted colorful clay pendants</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Soap-making </div>
<div>
small glycerine soap in molds, with either flowers or tiny toys embedded in them</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Decoupage</div>
<div>
like collage, but on the underside of clear glass plates, creating a wonderful useable keepsake (no dishwasher, though)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pirate Printing </div>
<div>
printing t-shirts and bags using public utility covers in Georgetown sidewalks</div>
<div>
