ALTERED BOOKS ???

I've had people ask me what did I mean by the term "altered book."  So here's a good explanation I think you'll enjoy.

Colleen, this is an amazing site. I'm becoming curious about altered books, and I read a couple of great articles while I was there... foundational things about picking an appropriate book, and how to prepare it. Very interesting and helpful. Thank you for posting! (Elizabeth B. from FB)

Yes, Beth, it's a great site. I go back there often to refresh ideas. If you ever start altering you'll love it. Don't have to have a theme, but put things in you love. Altering is simply art journaling in a book. It's all I do now. I'll be glad to help if you have questions.
