Been blogging for weeks now and have just realised I haven't posted a blog about one of the most important parts of my research..... Betty Pepper's book art.
Betty Pepper is a textile/ jewellery designer and maker, her work is inspired by stories, memories and things from the past,the recycling of old garments, fabrics and trinkets are an important part of her work. The books used in her 'Book Keeping' collections are all found in charity shops and therfore have history, the items she places inside are also old each subsequently having its own story to tell and are suitably said to find solace within the book.
The idea of using books to store and display small accessories and jewellery would be perfect for one of my final outcomes, however I am fully aware that there is a growing number of book art/ artists out there and would have to be careful not to innocently replicate their ideas.
