I attended 2 workshops at a local arts center.
One was on paste papers & coptic stitch bookmaking by Abby Read,
wonderful artist & teacher.
Made sketch notes in my Art Learning Book.
I got to wear a long printer's apron too, a grand costume!
Even though I had done the coptic stitch before,
it's complicated for me & lots of repetition & re-learning helps!
My finished book! I'm proud of it, like a young child
coming home from arts camp!
This one shines because I swirled in Pearlescent paint. Ooooooo!
(I also added some colored pencil marks when the paper was dry.)

We made papers to take home!
You mix a paste with acrylic paint, you goop it on Canson papers,
you swirl & cut into it with tools like combs & plastic credit cards.
I used a putty knife.
It's fingerpainting, except without fingers, as acrylic stains!
Such joy to dance in lines, to blend colors,
such fun to see what will happen next!

A new book in progress here at home!
The notes help me to be able to do it independently.
More using up stuff that's been around here forever,
papers I've been saving for just this thing!
Thank you Abby Read and classmates!
