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)
