Honolulu Altered Books Group April 2018



Aloha,
  This months altered book display shows off a colorful eclectic batch of artwork created by our talented artists.  It is quite interesting how each artist interprets the theme of each book they work in. This is perhaps my favorite thing about co-hosting this group. You never know what you might see from our members.
  I hope you enjoy this months art.
