Altered Books

A highschool classmate found me on Facebook.  She is an art teacher in Lawrenceville, Georgia.  That in itself is a sort of odd coincidence because I was the structural engineer on several Sonics in the Lawrenceville area several years ago.  Anyway, Becky is working on a project for a competition in the Atlanta area.  The competition involves taking a book that is ready to be thrown away, or recycled, and creating art from the book.  Pretty cool idea. 

Photos of Altered Books  Several neat projects.

Contest info.  Guess this happens in several communities.

Hi there! Thanks for passing this on...I set aside a few boxes of childrens books (the images were so spectacular) when we did a huge weeding of our small school library (the rest were donated to other causes) but I am anxious to pull them out now and see what the kids can do with them - GREAT IDEA!
