Creating a Triptych

mini tutorial 
I am super excited to share this project with you! 
Actually, this is my very FIRST attempt to creating a triptych. 
Our Facebook group The Studio - artist community  is having an event- Triptych Swap.
This swap is being hosted by a one of our dedicated member's, Artist Diana Darden who decided on having participants create a triptych with a Spring theme. 

Let us begin... 

1. download on card-stock, this template Triptych

2. using corrugated cardboard, cut out shape. 

 3. apply layers of acrylic paint. add depth and texture using stencils.

4. using rubber-stamp images on coffee stained paper as accents to embellish the theme.
5. position your images; once you are happy with the arrangement, apply craft glue.

6. note: this triptych is required to have BOTH sides fully crafted. 

paper dollies are applied with matte medium. once dry, apply layers of acrylic paint for dimension.

7. the door hinges are carefully hand-sewn together using embroidery floss. 

triptych project complete!

enjoy the tutorial.

art bound book- a project success

complete and bound together.

my little joy of papers all textured, layers, and hand-sewn with care. 

thoughts of this project:

creating this art book was a wonderful experience.

this one I will carry forward to other art challenges along the way, as I continue exploring outside my boundaries. 

enjoy!

my little joy of papers all textured, layered and hand-stiched with love. 

work in progress...

art book 
designed with coffee stained paper, layered paint, joint compound applied for distinct texture,and inked stenciled patterns... all coming together to create this book. 

This art book project has been inspired from a recent "Paper Ephemera Project/Swap" 
I Hosted for our artist community here- The Studio. 
Once we received our paper goodies, we were to create something from the collection, which the prior artist had treasured.

This project has been time consuming, I will admit. 
Applying layer upon layer, on such delicate book pages... can be a challenge all it's own. 
Patients must be practiced during the different stages of the layering. 
The last part of the journey has arrived... binding everything together to create the art book. 

Wish me luck!!

I will post more on the art book completed and bound together.
