I love this book
I created this book a while ago and submitted it to two different publications. It was not accepted by either of them. I just can't believe it. I think it's a beautiful book! Why wouldn't they want it in their publication?
I painted two artist canvases and used them as the book covers. I also painted the backsides of the canvases and attached some sea shells. The backside of the canvas acts as a shadow box of sorts. The pages of the book are made up of white copy paper as well as pages from an old atlas.
I adorned the spine with wires, beads and a small glass bottle that contains some tiny pieces of beach glass that I have collected.

I think it's lovely! Don't let this rejection get into your head. There could be a million reasons..maybe they were looking for a purple or pink piece and blue didn't work. I once had a piece of mine chosen, that wasn't even that good. I asked them why and they said it fit into the page layout better than any other. Go figure. Just keep making what you like. What do they know anyway?

A wonderful idea and beautiful! Don't be afraid to try again.
ReplyDeleteAt least you had the nerve to submit your creation. I don't want to get the rejection so I don't even try! Thanks for posting about your book.
ReplyDeleteHow about some more pics of your lovely piece?
