No food or drink

This week I have been giving tours in the art gallery for my art methods class. This was a unusually small group, normally we had 50 people per tour.  

The gallery was filled with abstract and nonrepresentational lithographs by Wulf Barsh.  Some of the groups I had passionately HATED his work and refused to acknowledge it as art.  The last couple of tours loved his work and I found the personality differences between the different groups very interesting.

Finishing touches

I decided that I wanted to make a bookmark for each of my books I made.  They will serve as a bookmark, price tag, and a list of the materials used.


I also decided that it would be good to somehow put my logo into my books.  
[out come the printmaking tools]


I carved my logo out of a pink eraser and stamped it into each book! 
It worked very well!


Now that all of the stamping and bookmarks are finished it is time to say good bye and put them in the mail... :(

There's an explanation for everything...

During the recent school break I made a big mess.

But more importantly I made books!
I am planning on selling them at a christmas craft fair in MD.
I have been making them like crazy so it would be worth selling them there.

This is mountain man book #2
(or pillow)
Made from freshly squeezed roadkill.

Remember the rainbow book?
Well this is the lime-grass-sky-cobalt book.
I also made a lemon-orange-strawberry-raspberry-plum book too.

Write like the egyptians!

Starbook!
Raspberry Emerald flavor!

With a cutie patootie bow!
I love this next one so much I think I'm keeping this one for myself. hehe.

My favorite kind of books are like mullets...
Business in the front, party in the endpages!

Since I was going to sell these at christmas time I figured might as well make a christmas book

This book even has flecky green pages for that extra christmas spirit


For all you band geeks out there...

I love this one too!


The spine of this book is brown goatskin leather.  
I made several other books out of this material and it is practically perfect in every way
Unfortunately, I only have enough left for one more book... *tear*


For all of the sisterhoods who need traveling pants...


I made a bazillion more but posting that would take up too much space...

I chopped off my hair!

To make a long story short: I wanted it all off.
  

I love McKay!
