Lilac Luna Journal

I'm taking a Rec and Ed class Paper Arts class....we're learning different ways of altering old books....which basically means that you find old hardcover books and add your own art to them to change them into something new....i think that this will be one of my new favorite creative joys....Some of my favorite ways of altering a book: cover the background page with watercolor pencil and water, oil pastels and oil, acrylic paints, or pastel rubbings over templates, adding tabs to the edges, adding pockets, gluing in photos and magazines images and words, adding envelopes, stamping, journaling, collage.....some ideas for themed altered books i may want to create: a book of yoga asanas, an address book with photos, a gratitude journal, a travel journal, a collection of quotes, a scrapbook, a cookbook, and more.....
