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?
The reaching hand has metamorphed into a different kind of collage. After two years of transformations and failures, and setting it aside...I think it is done.
I left three of the butterflies a few orbs and the hand. But it has a new life now with the addition of collage papers, more paint and a better color palette. I need to sign it and let it go.
