Title page and my 1st altered page. The woven page has had moving beads added to it and so has the Labyrinth title page. It's a little more "domino effect' than abacus but it's fun to play around with the beads and really interact with the page. Labyrinth means "maze like, entangled, intricate" and the woven page is a little bit of each definition.
My second page is 'Entanglement' which was quite litteral at times! I've tied on some little Pearl like beads with copper wire to add a bit of interest. The rest of the entanglement will come as this book nmoves around the globe! My 3 page is "Intricate" (yes it's a nest! what better example of intricate could I have found?) and I've created a window to sit the lino print behind and then enclosed parts of if with nest like stitching. The string was dyed first with coffee. The beads on the cross over copper wire free flow from top to bottom of the strand and make a lovely little tinkering noise. I am definately going to explore this moving pieces idea further!
In addition to this book I've also started on another ICE collage and a small piece for an Art Swap. If your interested in playing in this swap (and not already doing it unless you know loads of people!) please leave me a comment and I will forward you the details! Watch this space!

Lisa these pages are sensational. Loving the themes you chose and the way in which you interpreted them. The textures are amazing and the interavtive elements really draw you in.
The whole thing is so tactile - I want to hold it and look at it much more closely.
so intricate, all the crossing of lines and delicate pearls woven into that....beautiful.
the book is so beautiful, I wish I could hold it, and I would love to swap, tell me more!
Innovative and fascinating, Lisa!
That is a hell of a book mark....
The nest and intricate stitching is perfect! My fingers are itching to touch.
I'm itching to do the same thing. If only I were as talented. I must try it some day. I will, I will!
Your art is so inspiring! :)
