Cassette Book, egg and another drawing book |
Another day of playing with the foil tape. I truly am addicted to all the possibilities! I don't think I am finished with the egg, yet. I envision a little patina on it and maybe a few embellishments like charms or chains.
This cassette tape book was the most fun. I removed all the screws and disassembled the tape case. I saved everything but the tape because you just never know what you might be able to do with those things! : ) A cardboard spine was added to make it work as a book and I also added cardboard to the hollow areas to smooth out the look a little. The pages were found free on the Internet by Googling music sheets. They add a little whimsy to the idea of a cassette tape book.
This final piece is another drawing book similar to the one from yesterday. The textural elements were created from paper cuts. I applied them to the back of the tape prior to attaching the tape to the book. I really like how interesting the book looks and think that it adds a bit of mystery to the look. This will be my final pieces for a while. I have to take a face painting break tomorrow to paint at a city summer program. It's a repeat and always a lot of fun. The kids are terrific. Tomorrow night I will be beginning a class on children's book writing. I integrate children's books into many
of my lessons. I have lots of ideas of books I would like to read related to what I teach but can't always find a book to fill my expectations.
I've entertained writing my own on numerous occasions. So, this is me taking a giant leap into seeing if this will work for me! Wish me luck!
