With this post I am back on track.  It is a gorgeous but cool day in the mountains just outside Yellowstone Park.  We saw elk yesterday and bison.  So cool!

Red Series No. 2 - 21

I had Friday's posting all ready but forgot to post as I am on a trip to Yellowstone National Park.  I had it all ready.  I use to worry about forgetting a post but no longer as it seems I just can't make it work for 365 in a row.  So this post will be followed by a Saturday post....a twofer! :-). Now I am off to look for bears! :-)

Today we are half way through the Red Series No 2.  As you can tell I love using vintage children's reader illustrations.

One might say that the Red Series 2 is rather formulaic.  When you look at the whole it is.  It was done rather quickly over only three days.  It was a packed three days as I completed 47 works in that amount of time.  That is a lot of ephemera finding!

I think that this mini is rather special.  I love the detail involved.  Most of the mini images come from a calendar where every day has an image.  I think these mini images are clever.

Creating a series can be addictive.  The two red series sure was.  I got into a rhythm and just could not stop.  I am in the process of a new series.  When I get inspired it seems I just have to go with it. The new series is a set of collaged boxes.  At the moment I am working on nine.  Little books will go inside the boxes.  I found an artist who does these who I really like.  Her name is Linda Welch.  You can find her work on Pinterest.  I discovered her at 23 Sandy in Portland.

I had never been to 23 Sandy but had wanted to go for some time.  Artist books are sold there and it worked out that we could spend some time there on our way to the Newport Book Paper and Book Artists Festival.  I was in seventh heaven to be surrounded by so many books made by artists.  It was like being at the Codex all over again only smaller.  I bought four of Linda Welch's books and I ahave looked at them every day since.  I have to figure out her process or at least what I think her process is.

Unfortunately 23 Sandy is closing there retail space.  The owner is only going to sell books online.

I hope you are enjoying the minis as much as I am.  I have many to share.
