The Artists' Traveling Journal -- The Great Reveal!

Now, after many stages and decisions, the Artists' Traveling Journal, which I designed and built for the use of our local artists' group, to pass around, work on a page each, and end with a single joint artwork, now it can be shown!

Book size:cover 14 in.high, 12 wide, page size 12 x 10, enough pages for 18 participants.

Here's the front cover, unbleached muslin, dyed, painted, stamped, stenciled, mounted on board, pierced to allow ties to be threaded




Inside front cover with the title: The Sky's The Limit!




Inside back cover, showing a small section for artists to sign (in addition to signing their own pages) so that we see the group at a glance



Back cover, related to the front in materials and approach but different in design




Here's the book opened out accordion style, and getting a cat scan from one end



And then from the other



And here's how it can stand in a circle, very symbolic, and how there's an optical illusion in the pages furthest from the camera: no,they're not lying down, they're standing up,but the circle seems to baffle the eye! an unexpected bonus.




I hope the artists like it! because of the amount of handling it will receive, it comes with a one year parts and labor guarantee from the maker.
