I've been playing with the book, it seems to want to stand. It's a bit fragile, so it's going to need some support and a base. So far I'm seeing more of what's going on around the book than what's going on in it.

Sculptural Book Art Revisited
Having committed to participating in the sculptural book show I have until November 20th to finish my piece. It's my first work of this kind and I was unsure of which direction to go in. Research showed both sculptural books created from exsiting books, like the ones pictured in the previous blog and books created entirely by the artist; a great book on this type is "The Penland Book of Handmake Books". I'm going to work on an existing book.
I looked through my books and after narrowing it down to two, finally decided to use an old Lino Typefaces book because the finished piece will probably have faces in it. What do you think? Too obvious?
