These are three of Pattie Grey's artist books. The first one is called PAX and has only three pages. I like this use of pages being used to make birds or flowers, and how shes has collage some of the work a little bit without over doing it. Ideas I could put into my own artist book from this would be the use of collage and using book pages to make new things.
This is FRIDA KAHLO BOOK by the same artist, it has multiple pages but by the looks of it it has been waxed so that you cant open it so the main art piece is just the book itself not the pages within. I really love the idea of how its made to look like the dolls dress and how the artist has used candles and wax to keep the book in place, it looks really pretty and is a really original idea. Ideas I would put into my own work would be the use of flower petals and wax because I think it looks really nice and even making a few pages stick together with this idea would be really cool.
The final piece I chose by Pattie Grey is this artists book called 'Book of Cousins'. The book has six pages and has a theme of cousins with some pages having photos/drawings of them and other pages just having little things like flowers and fabric which must be memories from them. This artists book was the one that drew me to Pattie Grey because I love the ways shes put it together. Its had a lot of work put into it and if you look closely you can really see how much has been put into each page and the final result is beautiful. Some features I may put into my own book would be the use of photography and art, I also love the use of lace and the way the book has been set out.
