FMP Artist Book Build-Up

So as part of my final major project I have to create a minimum of 3 copies of an artist book to sell at BABE (www.arnolfini.org.uk/whatson/babe-2013-bristol-artists-book-event).

Seeing as I started my FMP by looking at a little village called Eathorpe in Warwickshire, I thought I'd continue that research with the artist book. And am I glad I did! So there's only 4 weeks until the event, and I haven't even started printing my books yet!

I decided that I was so content with my sewing and fabric play that I'd try and continue the theme within my books, so I have been drawing with stitch some items that stood out to me in the village (some of which I am also going to include in the main part of my FMP), and then I hope to screen print them into traditional paper books.

This image is of the back of my teasel drawing and I just thought it looked so pretty this way I had to show you! I'd spent a good while threading all the loose threads to the back which is the most time-consuming, mundane task, and then I looked at the back of it and had a surge of inspiration to continue and do many, many more!
