Triple Play

Triple Play

I’m lucky to be part of several great online art groups, one of those pandemic silver linings, and this project is my attempt to kill three birds with one stone, so to speak.  The book structure is the October 2021 project from @handmadebookclub with Ali Manning of @vintagepagedesigns.  It’s called a Stiff Leaf structure, and I like it because it gives you the option of permanently or temporarily mounting pieces on individual pages, then assembling them into signatures with hinges of paper, tyvek, or in my case with adhesive linen bookbinding tape.  The contents are my pages from September 2021’s #coloricombo color palette challenge with @estemacleod and @lorisiebert.studio – it gave me a way to store the pieces from that challenge in one decorative place.  If I had to do it again, I would probably have used photo corners so I could remove the pieces from the pages at some point if I wanted to.  The fun lettering on the frontspiece was from a monthly exercise with the #paperpalscollageclub with @lucieduclos.

Oh, and the paper for the covers is marbled by Jemma Lewis.  Look for her videos on Instagram @jemmalewismarbling – they are so soothing, you can listen to great music and watch her lift paper from the magical marbling baths.
