Honolulu Altered Books Group Feb. 2012

 Aloha and welcome back to the Honolulu Altered Books Group Blog.

We hope everybody had a happy and healthful holiday season.

We had quite a turn out of very high caliber art for this month's meeting.It was good to see all of our local artist as well as our Island girl Pam Yee, here for her annual visit to our beautiful island.

We have a lot of art for your viewing pleasure so go get a cold drink (west coast) or a hot beverage (east coast) and enjoy this collection of altered art.

Art is made to disturb. Science reassures. There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.

Honolulu Altered Books Group October 2011

Aloha Artists,

Sorry about the late posting of the October Blog. It's been a very busy

month as we get prepared to immerse ourselves into the holiday season.

The October meeting was another fun event as we went through our own

art as well as the art that was mailed to us. It is always entertaining and educational

learning from each other's tips and techniques. 

We are on the home stretch with this round robin. We meet again in November (work on your January assignment) and then we take a break in December and January then reconvene in Feb.2012.
