Saturday
I was thinking...
I owe it to myself...
to have some fun in my art studio!
I issued myself
a play date.
Altered Book Project
I enjoy recycling materials to create art.
So...
I've been making plans to create an altered book.
The pages will be created from pieces of cardboard.
(mixed-media will be applied to pages, no rules... just a whole a lot of fun)
Have not decided yet, but I am leaning towards using an old book for the cover and binding.
We will see!
Here is the start of my altered cardboard page.
