After that mess of confetti background....I decided to simplify this one and just scribbled faux writing on background. The image is so strong and colorful it needed the brilliant red behind it. I finished it off with some fine ink lines.
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?
