Shakespeare Bracelet

I'm taking an Artist Book class and this assignment was to construct something that does not look like a traditional book. I have an old copy of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare and I made paper beads out of the pages.

The chain is from a coworker who used to bellydance and brought in some costume jewlery for me to paw through. I also ordered some charms online: a fairy, mermaid, chess piece (king), goblet, skull, heart, quill, castle, fleur de lis, and skeleton key. Joanns was having a sale on jewlery supplies so I bought some green glass beads with leaves and flowers on them. The clasp is magnetic and 2 halves of a leaf.



The paper beads were glued and rolled and then varnished. I tied them on with bookbinder's waxed linen thread and then trimmed and frayed the ends (like we are supposed to do in bookmaking).



I turn it in tonight.

He's Resting

When I put this one up and walked away, like the guys at the end of Ocean's 11, I heard the people in the lobby '...just put it up now....yeah while we were here....' busted.

Ok so it wasn't that hard after all....

I've cracked the code that is fiber optics. I bought a lamp and took it apart, it turns out there wasn't much to it at all. Next week is spring break and I won't have my art class and will be at the Make meetup which I think is show and tell night so I'll bring my star chart.

Today's Flier

Guerilla Flyering

I have a lot in progress but lately have been annoying my work. Every day I come into the lobby and see fliers on a few of the walls and I thought it would be funny to add something weird. It took about an hour from that idea to actually doing it but here we go.
