Altered Books

Altering an old or discarded book with paint and collage is very ‘freeing’ to do. I’ve had lots of fun adding my art to old books.

I set out to update and add images to my Altered Books page, right here on my website. I looked through my saved photo folders on my computer. I soon realized I had lots more images I wanted to share! So, I created a second page concentrating on Collaborative Altered Books. I chose photos from a collaboration my friend Sharon Borsavage and I did together. You will find those photos in 2 galleries - HERE! A wee sample of our work in each other’s books is below.

You can read more about our collaboration and view all the photos on this page!

Hope you are doing well. Everything is fine here for us in Florida. We’ve been planting some flowers that can withstand the sun and Steve rigged up a cool watering system for the plants in pots. It is much more efficient and uses less water than me standing there with a hose! Fingers crossed, but it is looking good.

Creatively Yours, Lenna
