Altered Baby Book

 No I didn't alter a Baby, just some Baby Books.

You know the ones I mean... those colourful story books with board pages, about 6 inches (15.25cm) square, meant for little people to enjoy,  almost non-destructible. I like to remove the images (medium sandpaper does a thorough job) and add my own artwork.


So I'll post some of my refangled pages. I use all sorts of media and collage, lino prints, gelli prints, pages from magazines, origami paper, tissue paper, grocery flyers, whatever I can find.


This one uses origami paper, gelli print background, the sun is hand made wrapping paper from India, the lady arrived from a gardening magazine. Anyone got a title for this?

  5. I know the type of book. You must be pretty convinced that you won't again need them in their original form.

  11. These, and the other posts, are marvellous. I love the colours and the crazy juxtapositions. Super work. And I can see a child finding endless stories to make up in these pages.
