Altered Book Project!x


In this project we have, Cut out loads of pages from our books and created our sea creature within the book. My sea creature is a star fish. I Began To cut the pages of the book in a star fish shape. The artist of the work that we have been focusing on is called Su Blackwell she is famous mostly for her book cutting art. The link between my work and Su Blackwells Work is that we are both focusing on cutting art out of books. This Is a example of her work on the picture on the right! To cut out of my book io used a craft knife which is incredibly sharp and cuts through many pages at once. In thios art project three techniques i used are cutting with a craft knife, I also used brusho which is a type of paint and when using the brusho we were blending, The last technique that i used was oragami. In this project i have give my self an 8!
