Aloha,
Welcome to the Honolulu Altered Books Group blog.
This installment has double the art to see. It will include not only April 2015 but also the art from our March 2015 meeting. For those of you viewing this site for the first time, let me tell you a little bit about our group.
The Honolulu Altered Books Group, which started in 2003, is a multicultural group intent on rescuing 'obsolete' books with the most creative 'anything goes' mixed media techniques. Members participate in round robins, contributing artwork to each others books on a variety of topics. The group meets monthly in Kakaako, Hawaii, sharing creativity, techniques and more.
"Be who you are and say
what you feel because
those who mind don't
matter and those who
matter don't mind"
