Altered Board Book - Part 1

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

For my 100-Day Project in 2024, I'm working on using some of the items in my stash that have become "too precious." I have stacks of altered paper that fall into this category and use some of them in this video to begin to alter a small board book.

    I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that holds onto some papers like they are gold. Looking forward to seeing your results. :)

    Thanks, Kaylin! I'm so glad to be making some of these bits just a little less precious. And, I'm learning that using the things I love means that I make things I love too!!

    Im new to your channel and am so happy I found you. My art room is full of precious things that I struggle to use. Your bravery at pushing yourself is so inspiring. This is what makes a true artist. It's all about trusting yourself... on so many levels. ❤

    Thank you! I think we're all a little intimidated by those precious pieces. But, it's always so reassuring to hear we're not alone in it.

    This is fabulous! I keep a board book next to my desk to use up leftover paint and eventually i will do other stuff to it. I love the results and your process. Your brain sounds like mine 😆

    Yes! And, this one became something magnificent. I'm a bit awestruck by it, if I do say so myself.
