back in the studio

I'm back in creation mode after a 5-day hiatus in which my art room was converted into a guest room for my dear, dear friend.

It was a fabulous five days.

There was loads of art inspiration (museums, street fairs, Boston architecture) 

and treasure hunting (flea market!  IKEA!)

and talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, talking

but no actual art-making.

I'm making up for lost time.

Here's what I created today.

Another of the round robin mail-art zines:

(6"x8")

 

A file-folder envelope for a swap

(9"x12")

 

 Four postcards for a swap:

 

 

The idea of the swap was to create a single piece of art and cut it into 4 pieces and mail the pieces to 4 different people.  The pieces have to have a unifying element.  Here's the collage before I chopped it up.  This was tons of fun.  I'm going to do this more often.

And while I didn't do this one today, I figured I'd show you one of the other round robin zines I did last week:

 

It felt great to be gluey.
