Fold Back Series No. 1

Fold Back  No. 1
I am calling this new series Fold Back because somewhere in each collage I have folded paper. I worked rather quickly on the collages in this series and used what was in front of me on my work station.  In this one I had several vintage postal envelopes and teabags at my disposal.  I discovered the front cover in my garage, a piece I had started on book board several years ago.  I thought it would make a great book cover.  I had to make the back cover to match.  One probably would not know that the covers were made years apart. The book is bound using the slip knot binding process.

I certainly would never have guessed about the front and back covers of this delightful new book you are doing, john! The covers are gorgeous..and i suspect the folded paper collages will be great too.

Nicely done, John! I understand that the collage term for using only whatever materials are at hand is the word “bricolage” dictionary definition: “construction or creation from a diverse range of available things.”
