Pochoir works - before they became books

I did a pochoir workshop at Sturt Summer School in 2014.
I put up a few posts then: here, and here.
Here is pretty much the whole suite.
This is the pochoir stencil from which i made the women. 

I added more curly bits from other stencils, and added to the original woman stencil.
The tough thing about pochoir is thinking in reverse.

added the leaf stencil to an existing collage / drawing work (from a previous ink drawing also done at Sturt Summer School, maybe 2012?)












all of my stenciled bits added together - on canvas

Pochoir reinvented

These books are all made from some pochoir works i made at sturt summer school in 2014.
Because i had so many similar pieces i chose to try some new forms.
This is a flower fold.

Henry Cutler

This book is made from old library borrowing cards. Its name, Henry Cutler, comes from one of the names written on the cards.
The books were discarded from the north curl curl primary school.my aunt used to be a librarian there .she gave me a few books that were destined for the shredder.
I covered the cards with tissue to form a concertina. The cover is cut from one of my encaustic pieces from January.
I cut some pieces out of the cards and the cover to make it lighter.
Added a few buttons for decoration.
And a ribbon to close.
