"About Books" Pages









Thank you for letting me indulge myself by posting scans of my altered board book spread by spread. I very much appreciate all of your very kind comments on it. The last spread is based on a quotation about books and the places that house them....very near and dear to a librarian's heart.

Wow - absolutely stunning - I have never tried altering a book - but your work is so inspiring - definitely something I should try in the winter months when I get more time.

I didnt know you were a librarian! Books are my passion, especially kids books! The old mother goose book that you used little panels from I have....Maybe someday we can do an altered book on books.....I would adore that! I had so much fun doing the "little women" spread of Martha's...I love how you have done this subject....Is there anything better than a good kids book? Melinda
