Mackay Ex Libris, my talented BAG (book art group) friends
My talented friends exhibited some works at Mackay Ex Libris.
You can follow this link and see photos of all of the works, and here are my friends' works (which makes me most excited!).
Lisa Giles' work made from Real Estate magazines:
Julie Bookless' Audrey, a delightful piece.
Bernard Appassamy's In the beginning was the data, made from microfiche.

Sydney Book Art Group at Sydney Writer's Festival
Sydney BAG (Book Art Group) installed a piece at Sydney Writer's Festival this weekend.
See all the pix at our Facebook Group.
The piece includes 748 individual pages from abandoned books, and took more than 93 hours to ASSEMBLE (that excludes the time it took us to create each individual art work on the pages).

More pages for the Sydney Writers' Festival Installation
Sydney BAG (Book Arts Group), of which I'm part, is preparing an installation for Pier 2/3 at the Sydney Writer's Festival. The concept is a Hills Hoist (An Australian invention, an adjustable rotary clothes line) with altered pages from abandoned books.
There are 6 of us working on pages, so it will be an interesting installation to pull together.
I already posted a few of my pages.
Here is a selection of the 100 or so I created last weekend. Most have been photographed on a window, which is why there is show through of words for both sides. I am hoping for some innovative lighting to highlight the transparency of some of the pages.
The interesting thing is the show-through with light creates a totally different work where I have decorated the pages on both sides.
