Well, I did just that! Scavenged into the recycle bin, refrained from trashing used hemp string, etc. and here it is: "waste revival"! A Hedi Kyle inspired blizzard fold book with nesting newsprint lined magazine pages, sewn and pleated for achieving the desired fullness and stiffness effect! A box constructed from newsprint was made to hold the book. I got so involved and enamored with this project, I kept experimenting with different box structures, used a stack of almost trashed papers and ended up with a whole lot of boxes I love!
Fabulous! I love material like this, and I love artist books. A great combination. I just used brown paper bags as the substrate for my most recent collages. I love that paper!
ReplyDeleteapart from loving folded books the recycled materials are a real bonus to this form. i especially like the frayed hemp string.
ReplyDeleteI would call this upcycled! amazing art book!
