Aloha,
Welcome to the eleventh round robin of the Honolulu Altered Books Group. As we begin or fifteenth year of altered books in Honolulu we are excited to see what the new year will bring. One thing is for sure, we will get to see some fantastic artwork created by our 13 members in this round. We will laugh, cry, share personal despair and triumphs. Just by following this blog, you
will gain a view into each artist's soul. By the end of this round robin, we as artists will create art largely based upon our life's experiences, or our creative imaginations. So, come along for a ride with us and enjoy our interpretation of the themes of this round's books:
- Diary of Madame Blue
- Last Words
- Personal Dreamtime
- Award Yourself a Merit Badge
- How do You Art your Life?
- Fishy, Fishy
- Life is Full of Ups and Downs, Along with a Few Corkscrews
- Awkward Ancestors
- Festivus
- Book of Swatches
- Favorites
- Exploration and Discovery
