"playing with books"

"Playing with Books: The Art of Upcycling, Deconstructing, and Reimagining the Book" by Jason Thompson celebrates the resurrection of the popularity of paper crafts.

Step-by-step projects by dozens of artists are shown with beautiful photography. The techniques are easy to follow and will inspire the artistic reader to rummage through, and tear up, books collecting dust on her bookshelves.

no. 9: "gossamer" I wanted to create a wedding invitation for my "hello love" collection with an abstract "sketch" of the butterfly- a symbol of love and the celebration of the soul. This design is done in creamy neutral colors with an interesting typeface and comes with a matching Save the Date and reply card.

"how do i love thee" One of my favorite projects was for a client whose husband traveled frequently. She purchased several blank Crane's notecard sets and asked me to design (40) different cards with the words "I Love You" so that she could place them in his suitcase each time he was away. It was so much fun. I used everything in my artist toolbox including gold leaf, Pitt brushes, music pens, paint and calligraphy. This project inspired the "Love Notes" now featured in the "hello love" shop including this "How Do I Thee" card with red envelope.
