I started this altered book project in September of 2019, with no deadline for finishing it. I created this space to play with my art supplies and explore mixed media. I have a wonderful stash of art supplies because I'm mildly curious about all the things. What better place to play with all the things than in an altered book.
I started my project by prepping the book. This included pulling part of the pages, gluing pages together to create thicker pages and adding some pages back in as fold-outs.
As I work in my book I gesso pages and add things. Sometimes I paint pages. Sometimes I add texture paste. I've added ink, washi, fabric, metal and other bits as I build the pages.
My altered book is where I go to create when I feel a little stuck in a rut or burned out. There are no rules for this book and I enjoy the blank slate and the freedom. Stay tuned for more posts about this book, as I have more pages to share.
