I spend a large amount of time working with existing old, remaindered, or found-in-the-street books.
I was first enchanted by altered books while raiding my sister-in-law Bev’s bookshelf. It may have been this one.
That was more than 20 years ago, and now they are a fabulous solution for a weekend away or a plane journey.
I altered a book to be my travel journal when James and I went to New York. I altered books to be proto-photo-albums, which I have since reconstructed and re-altered. I pulled books apart and put them back together, carved out niches, slashed, and literally burned.
Because altered books are a tag, for this theme you just need to follow this link to find examples.
