From a Box to a Book
Art Has Become My Life, originally uploaded by Leah Virsik.
This is my “box” for Pro Arts 35th Anniversary Party/Box Art Benefit Auction: Saturday, November 7, 6 – 9 pm Preview Exhibition: November 3 – 7, 2009. Thanks to my dad for cutting the box of wood into nice 1/2″ pieces.
Inspired, I signed up for Leah Piken Kolidas’ November Art Every Day Challenge and received a really nice email back from her. I’m exited to join an online art community and post more of my work, more often.
Also, I signed up for Rock Paper Scissors Collective’s Sewing Lab Training. Looking forward to learning how to use their industrial straight stitch and serger! I want to make more books with fabric and leather.

This turned out fabulous!! It was fun to hear your thought process as to what to do with the block, and now to see the results – very cool! I love the zig-zag with the hinges – it looks as though you can create many configurations with it. Would love to see more pics of the different pages!

Thanks Carol! I put one more photo on Flickr. I’ll see what I can do about getting other photos up.
