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
