It has been a long while since I published here. Let's just say that taking on a new career with all that involves while still working in your current career doesn't leave a lot of time for art...even if your main gig is as an art teacher! So while putting away the Christmas regalia I stumbled upon one of my first paper bag books. It may even be my favorite one! You will have to check back to see that one though as I haven't time tonight to photograph it. So I will appease you with another Paper Bag book I worked on over Christmas.
My theory behind these books is to show life as a living art. I use copies of my family photos(ironically none in this one!). Sometimes of my vintage family photos mixed in with ephemera old and new, ribbons, papers, what ever. I arrange and rearrange until I have the right "feeling". Not very scientific or easily taught...it just has to feel right.
