The Motor Girls on Crystal Bay was
my first altered book. Some people ask me how I got started making altered books. The first time I saw a picture of
an altered book in a magazine, the art form immediately grabbed
me, and I knew I had to do that.
The idea of making an altered book was floating around in the back of mind for
a while when I saw The Motor Girls on Crystal Bay tucked away on a dusty
shelf at a junk shop. I realized
that it would be perfect to
alter.
I basically
learned how to make altered books as I created this one. Each time I finished
a page, I wrote down my process, my successes, my failures, and reflections and
posted them on my web site. It was a way for me to get feed back
and encouragement and also a way of helping others learn how to make altered
books for themselves.
So come inside and learn from my mistakes with The Motor Girls, and when you're done looking through the pages, you can find
out more about how to make altered books in the Altered Books section of my web site. I hope you have as much fun on
your artistic journey as I've had on mine.
