Each of our three structures is so different. Bridgette's plaster pages. Jen's metal plates. And my vintage-page book. And each of our themes are different too. Bridgette's Book of Trees. Jen's Shine. And my Contexture.
The images below show my first go round on Jen's metal pages. Never worked on metal before and this project has got me hooked. Thanks Jen! Click the images to enlarge.

This looks like fun! Tactile, as well as good eye candy.
It looks terrific.
Another amazing project that you've "nailed" - even in this new medium! Love the close ups to see the layers and texture, words, colors and of course, your metal! Thanks so much for also sharing the work of Jen and Bridgette- so unique with such brilliant looking textures!
metal is intriguing. your work looks great lyle
utterly gorgeous, seth! i love contexture already, as you know, and i adore what you've done in the metal book. all three of you have done an amazing job. thanks for the peeks!
Your texture is always so yummy!!!
Am I to understand that the work here is all yours, or is it a combination of you adding to someone elses metal background?
Whichever, whatever it is strikingly impressive...shouts look at me, touch me, feel me!
Love it.
you did it, you got an OH! from me.
i dig this stuff big time. fantastic job!
Glorious texture! Impressed with your versatility!
Thanks for sharing - it all looks great!!!

what a marriage of textures and substrates...awesome project..the best collaboration i have seen in some time...and i have been around a LONG time...think dinosaur!
thank you for taking me along this journey...the inspiration!!!!
oh..
Love it. Whew, I have some catching up to do!!!
Wow! Just, wow. This is fantastic. Working on metal, how cool is that?
Beautiful texture and composition Seth.
Fascinating!
I love all things rustic, raw, and rusty.
Looks like a LOT off fun!
This is a wonderful piece...it's different, yes, lots of layers!
Great job with the metal pages, Seth. Love the wire and nail with the red background on the circle.
Very impressive.
OMG! This is pure perfection.....I wanted to reach in and touch.
Superb job, Seth.
One would never know this was your first foray with metal.
you and metal bits go together like peanut butter & jelly (which I STILL love, by the way).
ohhh I like!!
Your process inspires me to continue my journey on a Woman created from found metal objects...for example a 1950's coffee pot, some hodgepodge rusty embellishments, a discarded rusty bird bath and on and on. This ongoing vigil to see beauty in the cast off materials in our environment is another process I am exploring. Today a friend found two beautiful rusty nails and delivered them to the gallery where I was sitting as a volunteer. Imagine and live in Peace, Mary Helen
Oh, my ears and whiskers. are you kidding?
This has to be my favorite post of the day.
I'd wear either page as an earring any day. Perfect.
Stunning!
These collaborate books are quite something, such beautiful works of art.
I find this medium and your page very exciting! Turned out so wonderfully!!
the frint page had me reminded strangely of the crucifiction.. but the back was so much better...dont you hate that,..
I love what you've done with the text. I can see how these metal pages work well with your found materials and artistic sensibilities :) They make me want to touch them. These collaborative books are certainly becoming treasures!
Very exciting work!
Looks like you've been working with metal forever. Very appealing pages. Love the nail and wirework.
