Altered Books

Yesterday I spent a wonderful day creating Altered Books with Laura Kemshall at her Wooden House Workshop.

First of all the venue is superb, set in the very picturesque Shropshire countryside and we had the bonus of a lovely sunny day. It was a pleasure to be able to work in the Wooden House as there was everything we needed to hand with plenty of space to work in.  And the home-cooked cookies and muffins and the lunch provided were just a welcomed and tasty bonus!

Laura gave each of us a book to alter and we have each brought one or two of our own to work on.  She went through each stage, giving us time to work on our books before moving on to the next stage.  Working on two or three books at once meant that we could have one drying and still have another to alter.   We also have loads of examples of Laura's and Linda's altered books to look at and inspire.

Here are some examples of the books I was working on.  They are still "works in progress" so I will post more photos soon with any updates.

 
   

    

    
 

 
          


     

 
 
I can thoroughly recommend Laura's workshops - I for one will certainly be returning.
