More WIP: Collaboration

 Some additional pages from the altered book I'm working on:

WIP -- Collaboration

PSBA (Puget Sound Book Artists) has announced its call for an upcoming members exhibition with the theme "collaboration."  Usually I don't create specifically for an exhibition, but some ideas about collaboration are percolating around in my head, so this week I began altering a vintage book to fit that theme. It will be about different ways of collaborating...between husband and wife, with co-workers, maybe between different species, maybe famous nefarious collaborators, we'll see. 

Here's the first page spread:

Bunnies In Process

 There is a logical reason why I am gluing eyes on bunnies at 10:30 pm on a Wednesday night.  And I could tell it to you.  Yeah, but no.

(And yes, I did make their cunning little capes and hats, too.  They're magical bunnies.)

Exchange Project

 Members of the NW Collage Society are participating in an exchange project with several high school classes, in which we will all create fold-up postcard/collages and exchange them.  We, the Society folks, are all about 142 years old, and the high school students are, well, a bit younger.  Should be fun!  Here are my two pieces:
