front of my little bundle of pages, including a brass X i purchased from seth apter's etsy shop... i'm putting one in each of the five pulp books. (click the images to see enlarged versions.) what you're seeing is a little labyrinth book tied to the top of the bundle of pages:
here is the book all alone. if you would like to see the inside of the book and additional shots, you may do so on my blog HERE and HERE. in the spirit of labyrinths, i'm going to make viewing this a maze of potential fun (or probably annoyance).
once you open the top, you see this... a fabric/fiber collage with a paper collage, labyrinth and quote on top of it, and on the right, i just cheated. lisa mentioned that she liked a collage i recently did so i recreated a similar one for her book. maybe not a literal labyrinth, per se, but in my opinion nests are one of nature's many labyrinths.
detail of the quote/labyrinth page, stained and aged all purdy with hand made dyes (100% natural, of course) and coffee:
under the paper collage, a labyrinthy nesty bit (can you tell i went as nesty with her book as i did labyrinth?):
detail of the collage...
here is a peek at the back page...
if you want to see the rest, head on over to my blog: http://alteredbits.wordpress.com(see, told you i was sending you through a maze...)

ReplyDeleteI love all of these pages, and the circular maze is a wonderful focal point. So many wonderful textures. Thank you for sharing. roxanne
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to comment until I'd had a really good look at EVERYTHING! And boy, I wasn't dissapointed Alicia. There's something very primal and primitive about these pieces - not in the art itself, but in what you are portraying here. Lovely and rich with texture and layers (loving that Mica!) and also very pre-celtic Britain. Those cup and ring markings back then, etched in stone, is what I'm reminded of. It's very witchy and spiritual and sublime.
ReplyDeleteUtterly amazing! I love everyhting about these deliscious layers and textures!
ReplyDeleteYour blog and various images are a feast that will take me days to digest. I have long admired the textural magic that has come to be a 'standard' in your group project and it's a pleasure to see the images from your point of view!
