ARTIST TRADING CARD GOOFINESS


And still another artist trading card for swap-bot! I copied this little guy from a greeting card.


I love doing art on pages from old books. These otherwise unused, unloved and really uncared for books become one of a kind art. A little messages behind the colored pencil. So, have I convinced you it's okay to tear apart a book?

Still seems strange to do! Years ago I joined an altered book group, I never had the chance to alter a book for the group but some of the work they do is so amazing. Really unique art form!

Love it! I have been doing some painting on old dictionary/hymnal/spanish language book pages. It is such a fun thing to do! The old pages seem to take the color so well. Did you change your blog background? I like it. Hope you are having a fun Easter weekend.
