My first series of clothing as paper collages finished off with machine sewing. Each image is about 7 x 7 inches.
I'll be teaching this style of cross-wrapped binding on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 1-5 pm at Createful Studios in San Rafael. It's a softcover binding that works well as a journal or as a sketchbook because it opens flat. I made the marbled paper cover and used matching waxed thread to create this 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inch, 40-page book. Link to class.
Cross-Wrapped Binding
Celloland in Argentina
Celloland’s Mark Summer and Ken Cook held a jazz improvisation workshop for El Sistema students in late October at Club Español de La Plata just outside Buenos Aires. In between each of the three workshops everyone spent time drinking maté and talking about Chacareras and Zambas and Miles Davis and Coltrane, the Blues and learning new words and phrases "como las dicen Los Porteños." Thanks so much to Jonathan Miranda Figueroa and El Sistema of Argentina for making this run so smoothly.
Celloland Logo
My illustration and design of a logo for Celloland, a jazz duo featuring Ken Cook on piano and Mark Summer on cello. The image appeared on posters, ads and t-shirts. A live performance can be heard here.
