First though I need to steal the typography I can reuse for found pomes and entries in my own books, then I think I will get out my round punch and take some circles to see what they can suggest to me. Maybe a few thin strips as well.
It is really intriguing to slice into a page or an image and disconnect a piece of it from its original context. It makes it into something completely new and I can see it with new eyes.
And pretend it isn't an act of outrageous theft.
Do you make 'Altered books', or do you just take pretty things from old books to make something completely different?
