Altering books can be a great adventure. There are no rules, no rights and wrongs. There are infinite ways to use all your favorite art supplies and skills to alter an old book. I hope you visit often. Please feel free to use any ideas and tricks you pick up here. I do this for fun, not for profit! One of my best tricks is - if you mess up a page, tear it out! Start a new page. That's "my way".
I recently added the mail art component here. What could be easier or more fun than making a post card and sending it off to a friend? Or to a stranger?
I mailed 38 post cards yesterday. I worked on two series, plus some individual ones. One series used pages from a 1943 autograph book given to me by an artist friend. The other series was done with fabrics I recently purchased at local quilt shop.
I really admire you using the old autograph book, I would have kept it in a box at the back of the cupboard, much better to use it and share. Nice postcards btw :) Wendy
