Altered Books: re-purpose a book with art!

Anything goes! Let a discarded book be the perfect platform for you to experiment with and express yourself. Similar to Art Journaling, but created in an old or discarded book instead of a blank journal. Exchange books with a friend and explore this experience together! A few altered book pages I created are below in a slideshow.

Altered book pages completed through two workshops with Tammy Garcia at DaisyYellowArt.com.
