    Just for fun AB complete

    October 22, 2008 - By 

    There are so many things I love about altered books.

    • The feeling of completion when I’ve filled up the all pages
    • The way they never close completely
    • The warped pages
    • The paint that got smudged onto the inside covers even though I thought I was careful
    • The colorful pages just begging to be touched

    I’m definitely going to start another “no theme” book. I love the freedom and chance to express what ever it is that I am feeling at any moment. It also gives me a great place to practice techniques and designs.

    After a morning spent thirfting, I decided to play a bit this afternoon.
    I know that my hubby was crossing his fingers that the front lawn would be mowed when he returned but that’s not likely to happen. Sorry sweetie!

    I used my “Just for Fun” AB to practice another tropical scene. I’m not satisfied with the one I created a while back for our upstairs bathroom. I have the vision of what I’d like it to look like but have yet to decide the medium. Maybe collage or another painting..who knows. It may be totally mixed media.

    Life’s short…play

    October 17, 2008 - By 


    I had a chance to play last evening. I broke out my “just for fun” AB.

    Since I was in a sort of playful silly mood…likely because my sweet husband took the kids out and gave me some much needed peace…I threw down this fun polka dot tissue paper.

    It just made me smile so I included my feelings of the moment. Or maybe it was just the wine.
    Just kidding!!
