Honolulu Altered Books Group August 2015

Aloha art lovers,

 

     August turned out to be a great month for altered art in Honolulu. We are so lucky to have a diverse group of artists that keep us thinking, laughing, pondering and sometimes even shedding a tear.  It's hard to believe that we only have three more rounds before this round robin is finished. We are looking forward to what creative artwork still awaits us.

   Please enjoy this month's art.

 

 

 

"We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we

dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance

for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the

dancers, we create the dreams."

all began with the letter L.

She created a beautiful textured pop-up of color.

"From the Mundane to the Sublime"

The dirty mundane job of digging.

Soon, all the hard work will pay off.

Grow, Grow, Grow!

The taste of homemade salsa is
just sublime!

Chill-Lax layout.
