Mementos & Musings: The Artist's Journals of Kelly T.M. Kilmer

A sneak peek at what I spent all day yesterday working on-

Mementos & Musings: The Artist's Journals of Kelly T.M. Kilmer:








Yes folks, an artist's book. 96 pages of some of my journal pages-full pages, snippets of pages, etc... This is not a "how to", but more of a "collection" of a small sample of my journals. The pages are mostly from 2006 to the present. The book is full color. It's small enough that you can take it with you when you're on the go.

Each book is hand bound by me.

Included with the book will be a set of postcard prints (of artwork not contained in the book) that are suitable for framing or just enjoying "as is".

I will announce more about the book soon (publication date and pricing to follow)...My question to you now is, are you interested? If you're interested, please either email me or leave me a comment. You don't have to leave me contact info. It's more to give me an idea as to how many books to print up.

Thanks :)

:) I should say I did all the 'computer work' in one day. The scanning I did Friday night it took a few hours to scan the journal pages. I spent all day yesterday on the computer resizing things and cleaning up stuff. Then it took several hours to print out a 'mock' copy (the one on the blog). I had to cut it down (cut the white off the edges since I can't print "full bleed"). Then after cutting and folding, I had to figure out which page went where. Then, I sewed it together using a 3 hole pamphlet stitch. I used this as a "guide". On the second batch of copies, I went in and "added" to some of the pages-more journaling, etc...

So, even if you have seen some of the pages before you haven't seen the "new versions" :)

It will be more work after I find someone to copy them (at a reasonable price). After copying, they need to be cut down (get rid of the white and cut to size). Then they will all be folded and then hand sewn.

So, it took me all day to make ONE. I wonder how long it will take to make several. LOL!!!! :)

THanks for the kind words everyone. Much appreciated.
