Beyond Paste Papers : Artist's Books

By: Rosie Kelly

Artist Rosie Kelly has an extraordinary gift for designing original handmade books from painted paste papers. How many of us multi-media artists have stacks of beautifully decorated paste papers, but no idea how to best feature them? In Beyond Paste Papers: Artists' Books, Rosie shares her expertise on painting papers, designing pages, and embellishing a simply bound book. Step-by-step instructions take you from the blank page to a bound softcover manuscript. Along the way you receive inspirational insights combined with tips and tricks to create your best work. Rosie's artist's books are housed in the permanent collection of the Newberry Library in Chicago and have been featured in many publications, including Letter Arts Review. She teaches workshops to calligraphy and book guilds throughout the United States, New Zealand, and Japan. At home in Chicago, she paints in her studio and continues a tradition of life-long learning, inspired by fellow artists and teachers.
