So the last project was a pretty mad one, and the result was a complete withdrawal from blogging and a social life. The upshot was that I got everything done on time, and it turned out pretty well. I wished I had been able to develop some ideas a lot further than I did, but time constraints got in the way.
Here’s a small snapshot of a random few:
I is for Information This is one of the more fun projects I worked on, based on the idea that old information is useless. I soaked about 20 pages of day-old newspaper, then laid it out over a radiator overnight – I then twisted coloured strips of newspaper, wet it and glued it on to the dried mass of paper. I just love how chunky it feels!
P is for Pattern I wanted to do a redesign of a Bible dust jacket, because – let’s face it – they can be pretty awful. So I took this simple shape – a triangle with three circles cut out – which represented the trinity, and made a pattern out of it. This is one project I’d love to take further and expand to other books.
This is my most favourite project so far – time-consuming, work-intensive, creativity-draining – and easily the most challenging. I’m looking forward to developing the best ideas into something even better!
