Check it out – I made these 7 Glorious Chunky Book Pages for a Black & White Chunky Book Swap at www.illustratedatcs.com.
The core visual of these babies are my typical hand drawn, bold-lined style. However, I also played around with building a sticker base that acts as a border around the heart, goth boy and Frida- homage pages.
I used some custom stickers that I ordered 4 or 5 years ago that say “Muffins or Bust”. I chopped the stickers into little mosaic chunkds and randomly (i mean artistically) stuck them onto card stock. Then, I ran my drawings (slightly smaller than the 4×4 size) through my large Xyron and stuck them on top of the backgrounds — creating an interesting border.
I liberally applied eyelets, yarns and other chunky bits to make them swap suitable.
Mixed Media for Sure: I used all of the following – photocopies for collage, yarn, ribbon, white-out, ink, rub-on letters, prismacolor markers, fabric, stickers, eyelets, brads, gel pens (i think that’s everything!)
