Starbooks

With the start of the new semester, we are diving into book making and book binding. Our first project is a classic self portrait, a more metaphorical self portrait and a third self portrait, presented through a starbook. The starbook portrait is not suppose to be a series of images of ourselves but rather a series of images of things and people who make us who we are.
I plan on making two books, one for my family and one for my friends.
Below are some examples of starbooks, neither have photos in them but they use techniques that I am interested in incorporating into my books.

This starbook was made by Lynette Collis in November of 2014, I found it on her blog, lynettecollis.blogspot.com. I really like how she used stickers and how there is an obvious and cohesive color scheme throughout the pages. It's a little too "scrapbooky" for my style, but I like the embellishments to the pages. 

This starbook is called Stand and Stare, 2012 by Anne Stinner. This starbook is much more complicated and complex than what I plan on doing but I like the ram frame. It would be very interesting to try framing my pictures.
