Lovely little look book;
Now my research is well under way I need to start making my Look Book for next Mondays tutorial. It has to communicate a clear mood, feeling and style so my initial thoughts are of a very handmade piece, sewn, collaged pages, working in a similar manner to Lucy so that its form represents its context. Perhaps I will make the book out of fabric or insert fabric pages if i decide to take forward the idea of a transient space? I also want to use paper cutting and decoupage along with stitching and the all important use of text and calligraphy. Stained pages, buttons and pop out bits. I have a lot of ideas for the aesthetic of the book, I think I want it to be very tactile hence the use of so many layered elements, I just haven't fully decided on the feeling/mood I want to communicate yet...
We have had a book binding lesson with Lucy this week that I found really interesting and I will defiantly use the techniques she showed us in future. We made a small sketchbook using the Coptic stitch and talked briefly about many other styles looking at examples that Lucy had bought with her. I think I have settled on the idea of making a concertina style look book so that the pages can be viewed individually or stretched out and be seen all together to really give the effect of which ever mood I decide to convey. I am really excited to make my own book after seeing all of Lucy's!
