And so it goes, the altered state produced by the of creation of book art. It's not as if I do not already have enough books in the studio to alter when I get home, yet I found an incredible old book in Micanopy yesterday about little girls and ballet a subject near and dear to my heart. I like to treat the two page spread as a painting. In the altered book I started this week (which remains nameless and at this point) there is only one page with text so far. I fear overdoing it with text although I have taken two sentences from the original book I may put back into it at some point soon. I plan to do my next altered book as an exercise in drawing only, whereas this one quickly became a series of paintings and collages.
