This is the second sample of the folder book for a simple machine project - I wanted to use the spiral (helix) so used the screw.

The green is the inserts in the pockets. This folder was a cream color. with green and orange is the colors for the project

I feel really good about the final spread in my sample projects for the Artist in Residence in Newmarket this April. I created a cyanotype looking page, since that is what the art teacher is planning to do with them. 

inserts for new pocket

new pockets -one behind lavender, one behind black

spread 3 including inserts

It took quite a long time, over several days to get it to look right since none of the other pages had blue !!!

adding some Art Journal 2019 pics....

scraps from SCREW project for Newmarket Elementary artist residence  on the left side of this first photo. The right hand page is from Dawn Ebbett's calendar .

Art work inspired by Victor Ekpuk on the small section on the left

As I add work to Art Journal 2019, I  like how the smaller pages only block out parts of the bigger pages...

The topmost page is a 3"square, so the 4"and 5"pages show beyond it...


The broken silver line marks the edge. Yhe black lines below are on the page behind it as is the dark section with white numbers - from a Dawn Ebbetts' photo.

holy moly, it's COLD !!!!!!!!
Here's some white art work.. from Art Journal 2019

And some new work on The Screw Project #1...

some details on the inserts

I have started my 2019 Art Journal using watercolor pages from joggles.com and will need larger rings, and more pages. Pictures soon.
I have been working on polishing pages fro the AIR in Newmarket. Each 3rd grader will be researching a simple machine. I chose the screw to be able to use the "helix"/ spiral.
I'm working on two models with folders.
This is a purple folder, with pockets already, cut in half. I usually avoid the bright green index cards

 This needs something in the right hand purple section -
