This is the post card that started so modestly, and has now become a real work of art, thanks to Maria Moesch who returned it to me yesterday. I'm showing both sides.
About Me
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?
More extensive photos of my work are shown at http://www.picturetrail.com/artsngardens
