Altered Book Class 101

Beginning March 2, I will be teaching an Altered Book class at the Woodburn Art Center for four weeks.  Classes are on Wednesday afternoon from 2 P.M. until 4.

Here's one of the things we are going to do.........

First.....using an old black and white photo, enlarge on the copy machine 200 to 300 percent.

Using watercolor paints.....paint over the copy!

 

Next, shrink the painted copy back to 50 to 70 percent, or to the size you want to use in the book!

Not too hard, so far, is it?

This is my sister, she was 13 years older than I and passed away at age 39.  That's not me with her, it is a friend.

This one is me!  The theme of my book is why did my sister have better dresses than I did?  Well, they seemed better to me, you know how that is.

I got the idea for this book from a piece done by Lisa Bebi.  We'll use children's Golden books, not many pages, should be able to finish in four weeks.  Here your chance to create your own book!
