international letter writing week


An "altered book" is an already published book that an artist alters by collaging, cutting and drawing on every page. Sometimes the text or illustration from the original comes through in amazing ways, enhancing or inspiring the work on the page. Other times I cover it up completely. How to show this kind of art that is hidden between the covers? That is a challenge. Here is a page out of my book.

Wonderful design arrangement, color selection, shape arrangement, texture....I love this! And then the peak of red and green...so subtle. So Japanese. Thank you for this gift on December 18....Can't wait 'til tomorrow!

The green red stamp in the Stele brings it to life and dimension.
