Description

This was my sixth and last artist book. This technique as well as book form is called a lotus. It looks like a lotus when opened. My artist book topic was runes. It is a subject I am still interested in. Also, my topic happened to fit the book format perfectly.

I may make another one like this. This is another of my favorite pieces.

plum oak tag paper
silver paper
silver thin ribbon
silver jell pen
Ruler & straight edges

The book has become an expressive artistic medium. This is true whether the book combines images with text, or consists solely of images, or contains text only. There are a variety of binding techniques, which can be explored and integrated with appropriate soft and hard cover book structures. The term book arts refers to all types of handcrafted books, including blank books, rebinds,
albums,journals, and artists books. Artists books are those that combine the method used for binding, shape and style of the book, visual images, and the look of the finished piece.
