Postage Due

Notebookproject

My contribution to a notebook project

I was rather thrilled to learn that I was going to be involved with a notebook project, the kind where a friend hands or mails you a notebook in which you make some kind of contribution before passing it on. But I was worried about what I would do, I haven’t been drawing much lately, and I didn’t want to include a photo that I had taken for another purpose. Lucky for me, my inspiration came in the form of a Postage Due notification on packaging material that housed the notebook.  I talked to Brandi Krackass about my contribution and she pointed to the obvious, “Yep it has to involve quarters”

Step by step:
1.) Open notebook
2.) 3 thin coatings of gesso
4.) Scan packaging and three quarters
5.) Print Scan
6.) Prep gessoed  surface to take the image
7.) Squish print to surface… HARD
8.) Peel print off
9.) Dry
10.) Pass the book along.
