And Another One









this one is being done on a spiral bound index card book 5x8 inches.

None of these pages took very long to do. The idea is to have fun and play, not stress over getting it just right. So they arn't perfict. But by having them in the computer I can go back and play with them digitally all I want too. Or pick and choose parts to use elswhere.

This book is still in progress

Enjoy

Welcome to another GlueBook Photo Dump

This one was completed in June.

I made this book with magazine pages half sized. (So that each leaf is 1/4 of a mag page)I left plenty of room between the siginatures for expansion as I glued things in. The cover college is covered with a layer of packing tape to give it shine before it was glued to the cover boards. (the boards are recycled cerial boxes) Then I started gluing with glee! It didn't really take to long to fill this one up. Some pages incorporate the backgroud image, some completely cover it up.

As a general rule in my glue books (and it only my rule, you don't have to) I say no words, only images. I'm drawn to color, texture, and pattern. I have the hardest time choosing or using a focal image(s).

Hope you enjoy the show.

ps. The pictures posted out of order, so the last one is first :/

glue book photo dump

A gluebook is a cross between an altered book and an art journal. find a picture you like and slap it down in your book. Try not to overthink the process. It's fun and relaxing and can be a cheep hobby since you use old magazines, notebooks, old books, junk mail, white glue and sizzors.

since I also like to dabble in bookbinding, I made this book using pages of a magazine for the pages. Then glued over them. Some pages were left alone, some covered completely and some partly. there are 150 pages total. Enjoy some of the highlights.
