I created this one-of-a-kind handmade artwork in my Vancouver studio. It's made from an upcycled old book.
I love buttons and have a small collection I’ve been holding onto for a long time. The buttons have been sewn directly to the pages of the book with a layer of sewing pattern paper mounted on the page. The piece of paper I chose happened to explain different symbols found in sewing patterns including that of buttons and other fasteners. I added the red threads as a finishing touch, winding them around the three flower buttons and attaching them to the back of the book.
The book is mounted to the frame using velcro for easy reframing if you so desire.
Frame size: 11" x 14"
Book size: 8" x 10.25"

Creating altered book art is as much about the process as it is about experimenting with the materials I’ve used to create each work. I often start with a rough idea of something I wish to explore which can be inspired by the objects or materials I have on hand, or by ways in which I want to alter the pages of the book itself through cutting, folding, etc. The composition and material choices for each book evolves as I work on them, often over several days. Every altered book I complete is a handmade original creation, and I’m addicted to making them.
Thank you for visiting my etsy store. I hope you come again.
