• 2 I also have an altered book I made, I tried to leave space to write your own inspirational quotes or anything you wish but not leave it so blank that you HAD to. I made pockets for tags and slip-ins. (Despite what many people may think all artists are not writers and all writers are not necessarily artists). I hope someone may want it.———————————————————————————————————————————–

My Journey

Ξ January 10th, 2010 | → 8 Comments | ∇ Art News, blog stuff, painting |

My Journey has taken me from paper to canvas and back and forth and so on.I do love the altered books and just completed one round robin,”Through the Eyes of an artist”and am in 2 more “I dream in Color”and “Book of Dreams”. There are 2 smaller ones too,”Meditate and Create ” and a story book in which we each write a page and see how the story pans out. I am also in an Australian altered book swap with http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/australian_altered_arts/. Feel free to join us we are laid back group with Aussie and international members. Here are some pages from these round robins by me.

• A page in the same  Round Robin

I find myself very drawn to these paper journals,as a lover of texture and layering I guess the love affair was a “given”. Here is one I did for the a circle journal  called I Dream in Color.This page is for Elena who chose white.I loved this scheme so much it was a joy to work in whites. ————————————————-
