Inspirational Small Art
Looking over some of the goodies I bought on our vacation, I thought I'd share these fun art-related ones I purchased in Portland at Reading Frenzy. Reading Frenzy is an "independent press emporium", selling zines, screenprinted cards, small art, and handmade books like this one. A very cool place that I enjoyed hanging out in. Once I picked this little book up I couldn't put it back down. It is shaped like a matchbook, with rich, intense colors and an intriguing little fable with engaging illustrations.
This is from
Red Star Art, which I was unable to find a link for unfortunately, I'd love to find more of her/his/their work.
And here is the back of book.
I loved the "close cover before striking" nod to the matchbook format.

Making Mixed-Media With Free Stuff





Next I glued down some of the mesh-looking fabric, I made sure it was very frayed just because I like how that looks.
I found a sentence I liked out of a book and glued it to one of the journal cover sample shapes. Deciding which end is up was a little hard.
Here's how all three ended up once I was done.
