no. 5 emerges




I've finally finished my cover for my altered book for Pulp Redux...
an awesome altered book round robin collaboration that I am thrilled
 to be participating in! My theme is Roots...beneath the layers.
Anyone who has seen my work knows that
layers are one of my signature styles.
I've assembled the cover with cast off parts from other devices
such as an old cuckoo clock, a printers tray and an old camera.
I've also included found objects and a few mini assemblages
I've made from wire and fiber.
The twigs on the side will be part of the cover when the book
returns to me after visiting the other 4 artists
involved in this labor of love.

Hi Lisa, this is so stunning and cool! Do You know what I saw in the thumbnailpicture of this in my follow list?...a mud Hound! Yes if You look again its a sweet dog with a birdsnest as nose and a sparkling blue pearl in his eye complete with a dog collar looking through a fence! That´s cool even if it wasn´t ment to be that!!
You´re doing better and better!

I love this. The layers, depth, and texture here are all so compelling. And what a great theme, Roots, which itself has so many layers to it!

Fabulous! All the things I love. rusty metal, frayed fabric and a lot of talent.

The layers, the assemblage....all of it...GORGEOUS!

LOVE this book cover--- as you know from the name of my blog that I am into layers myself and into rusty, worn, torn stuff as well.

I didn't realize this was a round robin from the collage camp site so will really look forward to see the "layers" that return!
