Well, it starts off as something simple enough and then we start adding, lol...
Bit like any one of our other projects!
The books come because I cannot resist a beautifully made art or craft or interior design book, even if outdated or damaged, I just love the images inside. And I love collage as an art form, so have lots of material I can rip and tear and add to the book, in the process making something new. Like my denims, only easier to fit on a work table to play with. And I love the no rules aspect. Just do it and stop when the book tells me it is enough. They make great journals and diaries, good spaces to collect phrases and images that we love, excellent doodle surfaces, and the fatter and tattier they get the better. One of my favourite artist crafts.
Any anyone can do it, have scissors and glue stick - can make!
