All of my haiku studies books are completed. I made three of them, only because I have to have things perfect and I could not mix colors together. So I made one for atmospheres, black and white gestures, and stencils.
My background book:
All of the pages inside are suppose to look and feel like trees so I used a slice from a tree as the cover. My dad helped me chainsaw a piece of firewood this weekend.
My first time using coptic stitching. It actually came out pretty cool looking!
And some pages in the book. I love using this stitching because it allows the cover to fully open.
My Stencil Studies Book:
I love the cover for it, that is actually one of the stencils I had been using.
A page in the book. And I am using this method of putting texture under stencils on my paintings.
And I made pockets for all of my stencils. Well I put the best ones inside the book and you simply pull them out.
My Form & Gesture Studies book:
Just some little details of the book. Originally i planned to stab bind them but then I realized my birds would be cut off from the inch of sewn paper. So I resulted with this method instead, which I actually really like!
