art unraveled 2010

well...as usual Micheal deMing's class was a technique workshop as well as a chance to see if you can really stick with it..and dig deep to find exactly what you invision...and still figure how

to put it together. His "Trashy Novel" class turned out to be a thriller!

Here are a few pictures...this painting technique was the result of how she put the caulking on to the foam board..great!.

We took the foam board and cut it into sizes of our books...

more foam board..the deeper you can input your images...as you will see.
after class as you know, Micheal goes thru each..this book was not finished but

she plans to use this OLD RADIATOR COVER in her book. she found this on the side of the road!!! SOOOOOO as we all know..nothing is just junk!
What I liked about this book was the wire. Putting some wire between the sheets of foamboard

gave the book depth....its a fooler..there is actually only 2 pieces of foam board, whereas in most of the books..there is 8 to 10!
this is an example of how the layers are cut at different sizes...and then burned. I used a cigarette lighter but you can use a heat gun..heat gun takes for ever!!! Then you use caulking to glue the pieces together. Great technique, cant wait to use it again!!!

OH! This is Corina's book. love the red. Micheal calls it his Killer (something) Red. Can't remember the whole name .but as you know..he mixes colors...he showed us some new ones..and I think he showed about 10 colors..maybe more. Corina chose the red! Notice how the ears of the bunny rabbit match the frame on each corner!!!! clever!
I will show you some pictures of my book..as my blog continues with AU 2010!!!
