This zine is a sheet of copy paper covered with glued remnant squares of different sizes and patterns, emulating a patchwork quilt. It wears of translucent cover of vellum with cut-out letters (outlined in gold) spelling the title.
I tried using tracing paper for the overlay, but it was too thin. I also experimented applying matte medium and gloss medium over a test vellum sheet to see if that could add a bit of strength. But the vellum wrinkled a bit. For now, I'm sticking with the unaltered vellum. I like how the translucency of it mutes the covered color.
That said, a project like this might have been better on black paper instead of white. It would have helped the letters 'pop'. But I'm still pleased with this piece. I'll also keep my eye out for a stiffer translucent paper that can be cut with an X-Acto and a colored vellum.
If you have any suggestion as an alternative for the vellum, please consider leaving a comment.
