I’m having so much fun with this altered book.
As it develops more meanings are attaching themselves. For instance, it h
as 42 pages, and as we all know 42 is the meaning of life, the universe and everything. So suddenly it has a theme attached… it’s a book with elements of life, the universe and everything. Reckon those are parameters I can keep within!
Plus I’ve brought in elements of Somerset Maugham’s writing. Seemed only fair as I’d already obliterated so many of his words in paint and collage and whatnots.
This page is titled from his quote:
“The Essence of the Beautiful is Unity and Variety.”
Here is how the page developed …………..

I really enjoy watching your process slideshows. They are really informative so thanks for including those. The pages are gorgeous. The colour and patterns are rich. I love your theme too. You really have inspired me to shove altering a book further up my arty To Do list. It could be a fun Autumn-Winter project for me.
