Back to the Basics

What better way to get into working on an altered book than to go through one of my old ones! For those who may not know, an altered book is when you take an old book (outdated text books, encyclopedias, and even novels work well) and cut, paste, paint, scrapbook, or whatever your style may be to create one big piece of art- containing other works of art- all wrapped into one. There is no right or wrong way to alter a book. To better explain here the the cover and a couple pages from my first altered book.



Aside from my books, I also do "mosaic tiles" with old magazines.
