Honolulu Altered Books Group June 2013

 

Aloha,

 

 

Well, we are almost halfway through this round robin and we are finding that a few books are already bulging and in need of minor repair. That's a good thing because it means that the artwork is bold, exciting, encompassing, creative and downright fabulous.

  The group on Oahu is excited to have Teri joining us at our July meeting. She is coming all the way from New York and we can't  wait to meet her in person.
