What are Altered Books?

If you are visiting today from the Arts & Ag Tour of Hickman County, TN....

Welcome!!!!

Please browse through the past posts and see some of the beautiful artwork using various mediums, that we will be showcasing and having for sale at stop #26.

My daughter, Sally, and I have so much fun creating and we love all kinds of art.  The article mentions that Sally will be demonstrating some of her altered book art. In case you weren't sure what that was, I thought I would share just a sample of what she does.
These are large wall hangings and she puts hours of work into these.  They will look beautiful on any wall and with any decorations.  I have a couple of her altered books in my office at work and I'm always getting compliments on them.
Sally just started quilting and I'm just amazed at her talent and how she visualizes her work and then brings it to life.  She started playing with some yellow fabric with red shoes printed on it and has made a beautiful baby blanket.  Then she went all out and made a Wizard of Oz quilt, complete with the twisting yellow brick road and Dorothy's blue dress.  And she quilted it in rainbows!
 I'm so proud of her and I can't wait for you to see her work.  She definitely uses all the colors in the crayon box to create and she loves painting outside the lines!
