Installing in Kinston

Wow, today has been a killer. I installed three big piece in Kinston today and I'm beat. I couldn't have done it without the help of my sis!

New Book

I'm just putting the finishing touches on a book I made for the Brooklyn Art Library. Today we dipped it in wax and used a heat gun to smooth the wax out more. I used so many processes on this piece it's crazy. It's very fragile too. More photos and details to come...

More Fun with Rust

Latest Book

This is another book I made this week. This one is leather bound with red stitching. I attached an old lock piece to the leather with rivets, and created a clasp by tying together some bones from my fox bone collection. I also used teeth, shells, and wooden beads as an extra surprise inside. I made use of the irregular, natural edge of the leather for the wrap around cover. Pretty awesome!
