50 books #32 disintegrate to create

Remember paper bundles weathering all over the world last winter and spring? Remember who started this? Initiator Seth Apter at The Altered Page made us all doing a follow up and we were asked to reveal our projects on August 1. My bundle was in storage for some months and i digged it up just in time.
For previous posts featuring my disintegrating bundle: click here (scroll down a little there, this post will show up first...)




What else than making a book out of the paper...



I pasted the black paste paper on some florist mesh for strenght, mixing front and back sides. The black fuzzy parts happenend in the months outside. The paper sticked together when moisturized, some of the black paint transferred that way. Well... actually it could be some kind of mould... I'm not really sure of that transferred paint, but it's cool to think that happened :)



The thread used to bind the book is the cotton yarn the bundle was wrapped in. Before stitching I waxed it a little for easier handling. The three sections are made with watercolour paper of several sources (i.e. quality). The three sections differ from four to ten pages.

I left some minor gaps between the glued on paper pieces just for fun :)

Major thanks to Seth for settting up this project! Be sure to visit the Altered page to see what all the others (more than 100!) made with their bundle.

Het is gek, je verwacht dat je het papier voor je ogen ziet vergaan, maar blijkbaar is daar toch wat meer tijd voor nodig...
Weird, I expected to see the paper decay in no time, but apparently it needs some more weather to do so...

Ondertussen is de lente losgebarsten in de tuin. De narcissen en het longkruid bloeien. De puttertjes maken zich op voor het broedseizoen en dat pakketje... ik wacht af...
In the meantime spring is starting to appear in the garden. Daffodils and lungworts are blooming. Goldfinches are preparing for breeding season and that little bundle... I'll wait...

Look here for Seth's disintegration project and my previous post

Vandaag viel mijn oog op een stapeltje gevouwen blaadjes voor een boek (dat ik niet maakte) en op een stijfselmarmer (met papier dat niet sterk genoeg was). Samen goed om mee te doen aan het disintegration project van Seth.
Today my eye catched a stash of folded pages for a book (that I didn't make) and a pasted paper (made on paper not strong enough). Together good for a late entry in Seth's disintegration project.

Omwikkeld met katoenen haakgaren en een stukje ijzerdraad om het pakketje op te hangen. Niets ingewikkelds. Nu is 't wachten.
Wrapped with cotton thread and some wire to hang it. Nothing fancy. Now we'll wait.
