Honolulu Altered Books Group April 2012

 Aloha everyone,

The countdown begins. We only have two more months left on our seventh round robin. It truly is hard to believe that we have been doing  Honolulu Altered Books round robins for nine years already.We have been truly blessed to have made so many friends from all around the country who love art as much as we do.

  Our April meeting was once again a lot of fun and as always, it was filled with laughter, tall tales as well

as personal stories of inspiration. Please enjoy this months art.

Do what you can, where you are, with what you've got. Break the rules, be different, be dynamic, but above all, be yourself! And have fun doing it! (Paul Dixon)

Honolulu Altered Books Group March 2012

 Aloha,

We had another great meeting of the Honolulu Altered Books Group last week. It was so much fun seeing every body's art work and hearing the funny stories about there success's as well as their challenges.

We also want to thank Deb Z once again for letting us meet at Rubber Stamp Plantation and being so generous with her time and space.

For our Mainland members, we continue to be amazed at the art we receive each month and just wish you could all be here to enjoy the meetings. Pam Yee is still here from Michigan and we just want her to move here.

Let's all send prayers to Fran Yee. We will be thinking about you and hope to see you at the May Meeting.

Being an artist
means, not reckoning and counting,
but ripening like the tree

which does not force its sap
and stands confident
in the storms of spring

without the fear that after them
may come no summer." Rainer Maria Rilke

Deb Z went for a little walk and this is what she found

for the found objects book. It goes to show you that art is all around us!
