Diana's Occasional Blog: The book covers
http://dianaparkes.blogspot.com/2011/08/book-covers.html
The purpose of this blog is to share what I am doing as an artist, both successes and failures, and to act as a tutorial. Events and anything else related to textiles and art will be covered as well; plus life with all its vagaries. Sunday, August 14, 2011. The rest of the pages are cut out but need to be trimmed before assembly, and will probably get extra elements as well. Labels: The book covers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I wanted to add some text, and this is how I went about it:. 5 Removing the mirror-imaged text and lifting the art work reveals the text the right way round! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

This week I felt ready to start again. I had been thinking about this for quite sometime. In determining what colour to use I sorted and tidied my colours, discarding those that were beyond use. This can be very t...I am an a...

Events and anything else related to textiles and art will be covered as well; plus life with all its vagaries. Sunday, August 7, 2011. I've done a shocking thing.

The original piece on completion. I am an...

My current experiment is to be achieve solely with textile heat set pigments or paints. I enjoy the unexpected and am aiming for things to appear 'dyed'. The initial application - too dense! After a scrub and a wash - much better! Labels: Scrub and wash.

Events and anything else related to textiles and art will be covered as well; plus life with all its vagaries. Sunday, July 24, 2011. I think it is finished. This week I have added some figures to the lower portion of my experimental piece. I shall now put this away for some time and when revisiting, decide whether I need to add more, or whether I feel it is successful or not. Kesha B...

Events and anything else related to textiles and art will be covered as well; plus life with all its vagaries. Sunday, August 28, 2011.

Events and anything else related to textiles and art will be covered as well; plus life with all its vagaries. Sunday, August 21, 2011. So far this week I have added extra embellishment to three of the pages. Then I decided that a book is not a book unless it has some text. So I have been working on a series of words to add to each page. Labels: Writing some text. I am an artist worki...
