The ocean scours us clean and prepares the canvas for unlimited creativity

 

When I was in kindergarten I flunked cut and paste.  When I was 38 I began working in a library.  Now I'm a collage artist who uses books for my canvas.  We are all artists--so when creativity calls, be sure to answer!

What is an altered book?

"It is any book, old or new that has been recycled by creative means into a work of art. They can be ... rebound, painted, cut, burned, folded, added to, collaged in, gold-leafed, rubber stamped, drilled or otherwise adorned ... and yes! it is legal!"
