I read last week on Seth Apter's blog about his proposal to host a collection of paper stacks, online... “ All you need to do is post an image on 9/21 on your own blog of your own stacks - be they papers, books, journals, or anything else of your liking.” Read all about it here: "Paper Stacks". I’ve worked in lots of altered books, art journals, and collaborative journals full of paper and more, so I couldn’t resist his challenge to upload a photo (or 2 or 3 or 4) to my own blog today. I will notify Seth and he will add the link on my blog to the list of artists here -go check it out! I love that he calls it: Stackaholics Anonymous!

My photos are sharing a few of the art journals and altered books I’ve done. . . because I did not want the stack to topple over! This is the first book I altered -in 2001. Click on the photo for a juicier look at all the stacks of paper!

Some of these books are collaborations I’ve done with other artists and other books/journals are used as samples for my altered book classes. I created more than one “stack” -see below. I could not resist!

An journal from 2011 in the back left, an altered book class sample, a collaborative exchange I am involved with, a Vintage glue book, a book from a class with Kelly Kilmer . . . .

A recent art journal, a class sample book, a vintage gluebook and my first altered book.

Hooray for stacks of art! 

Thank you Seth, for coordinating this online collaboration of paper stack collections. I am proud to add my stacks of books. ; ^ )  lenna
