I don’t have a dedicated studio space at the moment so all of the work I’ve produced over the last few months has started to take over my rather small apartment. There are altered books (and supplies) piled in every corner and hung on most of the walls as well. This week I started working on framing the altered books in preparation of displaying them at Bootup Labs in a few weeks.
I’ve chosen to mount each book on the inside of a cradle frame, and was working at Boris’ parents place on Bowen for a few days to use their workshop for sanding and staining the wood frames. These are the first few altered books that I’ve finished framing. They look pretty wonderful, don’t you think?
That’s a great idea. I bet it makes them more stable & easier to hang. Looky good!
Thanks. They really needed to be framed before I felt they were properly finished.
These look great. How did you fasten the books to the frames?
