The Bookaholic

The books were read for inspirational purposes. They were, indeed, inspiring!

14. Altered Books 103 by Beth Cote and Keely Barham

I bought this book because it has some ideas for creating books (of a sort) using old CDs. Lord and Lady know I have old CDs aplenty! Now that I have my very own Dremel drill for putting the necessary holes in the CDs, I will eventually (sooner rather than later, I hope) make some interesting art. Perhaps some I know will receive such a piece of art. One never knows.
 
 

15. Classic Paper Techniques for Greeting Cards and Gifts by Alisa Harkless

Always on the lookout for card ideas, I picked this book up because it has chapters on stenciling, paper casting, paper weaving and illusion braid (aka Lacé), among others. After reading the chapter on paper casting, I have naturally felt an increased desire to be making my own paper. There’s a messy proposition… and the messier a technique, the better I always say. Gotta get me one of Arnold Grummer’s paper making kits. I think I will have to be taking over the powder room, too. heh heh heh
