I started making pages for this book nearly a year ago. I stopped for several months while I worked on some other projects. I was stymied by how I would construct the book so I decided it would be the project I would take to Ohio to get some help figuring it out with my sister. After finishing all the pages of nudes, I decided to sew all the pages to a large piece of heavy pellon and fold it into eight pages. Before sewing onto the pellon, I painted it with various mottled colors of acrylic paints. The pages were made using various multi-media techniques - computer graphics, transparencies, collage, transfers, stamping, etc. Most pages were a mixture of paper or tyvek and fabric or lutradur. The cover was fabric-covered book boards. The pellon pages were sewn onto the covers' end-page fabric which was then glued on.

I want to see the original again! These are so beautiful. Thank you for continuing to make such inspiring art.
Kate, I haven't been to my blog in so long I thought they were going to make me start a new one and so I hadn't seen this post. You did a really good job either scanning or photographing the pages. It looks wonderful!
