Saturday- studio play date

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.

Who inspired me to get this project rolling?

  4. I like the colors and the corrugated cardboard. I seem to have a lot of it laying around lately. It sure does add texture and dimension!
