Time
was, drawing and scribbling in a book would have earned you the wrath
of your schoolteacher or librarian. Now it's an art form, as taught
by Altered Books 101.
With
the techniques featured here, you can turn that old copy of Danielle
Steel's Wanderlust or other unwanted title into a book that expresses
your artistic vision. Authors Beth Cote and Cindy Pestka demonstrate
a variety of methods for making over books, including aging the papers,
cutting out windows and niches, folding pages and covering that old
text up with collage.
Why
read someone else's life story when you can tell your own through
paintings, sketches, journaling, and other techniques? This guide
shows how to create a book that's as unique as you are.
