Dead Land: The Artist Book I Made

The first photograph below is of the image to the tunnel book  I made in the class I am taking at Lane Community College called, "Artist Books and Pop-Up!"
The class is taught by the amazing book artist, Susan Lowdermilk.

 The photograph below is the text, to my artist book, that accompanies the above image.

It is a book, so when you open the book the text is on your left and the image is on your right--and yes the image is back-lit by battery powered miniature bulbs. The objects within the image are seen through a screen of distressed tracing paper.

My First Artist's Pop-Up book!

The cutting and folding stage.

It looks like a book. I can see where this would be addicting. I can't believe I made a book--a real book!

                                   A series of pop-ups I am making.
                                  The process involves a lot of cutting and gluing.
                                 I am using drawings I have previously done and I zeroxed them from my notebooks.

                                  Some of the drawings I turned into print marterial to get repeated images.

                                     

It is a work in progress. It is fun and exciting and I will post more photos as the work continues.
