*Description: What do you have the most of that you would like to get rid of…..maybe even make some money along the way? Learn how to turn old books into works of art and other ideas you can use in your library. Just what is an altered book? Altered Books are the coming craft craze, consisting of an art form which combines elements from scrapbooking, rubber stamping, and collage. The artist/crafter starts with a book as his canvas, adds embellishments and his own photos, quotations, and art, and Voila! His compulsion to dream, fiddle, and create is satisfied.
*Specifics: (Hours of the course, best day of the week, etc...) This is a great teen or adult program. Allow at least 2 hours. This is a great Saturday workshop - parents and teens, or during the week workshop for homeschoolers or retirees with an interest in crafts.
*Notes: Create some examples before the program so attendees will be inspired. You can keep this as simple or complicated as you want. For ideas, check out http://www.craftster.org for examples. For altered books, check out their forum labelled : PAPER CRAFTS, JOURNAL & BOOK MAKING- Completed Projects: Reconstructed http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=18.0
