Autograph books


Jan 5th. Some time ago a group of girls and myself decided to continue meeting and working artistically after doing a short course at the National Art School. The project took about a year or so and was accepted into the library archives of the New South Wales Art Gallery with an exhibtion last August which was very exciting. We are now looking at another project but in the meantime are 'signing' autograph books for each othee except instead of signing we are painting. So today my art practice was mainly taken up with doing my image into one book. Part of it, the beehives and bees, were inpired from an old manuscript and I added Australian gum flowers and wattle which are two trees that bees frequent. The paints are Sennelier with a 0.05 pen outliner and the book is Il Papiro, Firenze. It doesn't say what the paper is.
