In Preperation to visiting the Yorkshire sculpture park and The Hepworth Gallery I have decided to create I have decided to create a hand rendered sketch book using a plethora of reused materials in which I can account all my first person observations from both visits.
Whilst looking for inspiration in creating my book I decided to conjure up some inspiration by looking at artists and other blogs.
Firstly I looked Into ways to bind the book together looking through other 'Pinterest' http://www.pinterest.com/source/lilbookbinder.wordpress.com/
I particularly liked the variety of materials and techniques that can be used to create a bind of a book.
however I would like my book to be simple yet be made up of a wide variety of different material to draw onto.
I practiced binding my book with a number of techniques which included ; stitching, stapling, sellotaping, using wire, using clothes and using string
After a series of trail and error I have decided to go for a simple yet effective technique using string to bind my book together (one over one under) Below you can see my final book bind.

In creating the aesthetics to my book (the book cover/ inside pages) I took inspiration from a number of sources mainly looking at Paula Steere
An artist creating her own books that are fairly scrappy with torn pages and accidental tears
with an inability to through away pieces of paper Paula decided to use her scraps she had left to up-cycle and create a books out of these.
In creating my my book I used a number of different papers; tracing paper, cardboard, packaging, receipts and used papers
I decided to liven the cover up by spray painting which added texture and colour and I liked the effect this made.
Overall I think the final out come of the book is strong having a distinctive up-cycled look and will be great to capture my observations in
