Jewels of the east...this unique, handmade book is a collection of treasured personal images, papers and findings collected from my wanderings and travels through the open-air urban markets in Southeast Asia. The signatures are made of gritty “fusion-dyed” collage covers layered with images and words. Learn how to create interesting black and white art with sumi ink, Xeroxed patterns, handwritten text and symbols. Accents of distressed metals finish off the signatures of stained, deconstructed and texturized found papers that are bound with a funky woven and beaded macramé binding.
