New Book on Etsy


a small 10 x 10 cm book
made of recycled paint rags


The front and back covers 
are coated in encaustic medium
and home made natural indigo oil paint

inside each of the pages 

is coated in traditional rabbit skin glue gesso

enough to make a nice surface

but not so as to completely obscure the marks



Available here
SOLD

In the Studio

I have been covering paint rags with
tradtional glue gesso

to use as pages 
in some new 
fabric books
I am planning

This is a small piece 
on wood
encaustic, xanthorrhoea resin, nacre, indigo

and this is the place on my floor
 where the pieces 
I think are finished 
live for a while 
until I am sure
a mix of cold and hot wax

Unfortunately they are too fat 
for cost effective overseas postage

But I might put them in the etsy shop
for Ozzie buyers
Or I may take them
travelling with me
only time will tell
