About Me

My Photo
Amanda
Hello! Welcome to my blog. Thanks for visiting. I am an Australian artist, working mostly in the medium of artists' books. This blog allows me to show works-in-progress as well as my thought processes as I develop the ideas and concepts that I explore in the work. My other goal for the blog is to share the techniques that I use in my work, in the hope that readers may find them helpful. If you have any questions about a technique I write about or anything else on the blog, I'm very happy to help if I can. I try to post weekly (or thereabouts) but sometimes health issues intervene. Please bear with me at these times, as I'll definitely be back! I hope you find something of interest here. If you are looking for a more formal view of my work, please visit my website http://amandawatson-will.com
