Collaborative Altered Books: turn an old book into art with a friend!
A discarded book can be the perfect canvas. It’s inviting to use an old book instead of a blank journal. Pick a theme for your book & find a friend to collaborate with; encourage and inspire each other as you share your ideas & your pages. In the exchange below, Sharon and I worked in both books. The first gallery shares Sharon’s book with our pages on a bird theme. The books were mailed numerous times until both books were filled with our art.
