    i love this process! I've done it a few different times (altered books and altered page) with various age levels and it's always so engaging.

    Hi Gabriela! I love too, it’s so various and full of surprise, there is so many exciting features: poetry, drawing, imaginations, links between words and imagines... I think everyone should try it!
    Thanks for your comment!

    Great stuff. Check out a NZ artist who has created a name for herself in the art world, painting Maori designs on newspaper, leaving some text exposed. Tracey Tawhiao. Worth googling. I've tried her approach in class. http://gretchenbuwalda.blogspot.co.nz/search/label/maori%20design

    One more thing Miriam, what is the fabulous black pen you are using in your tutorial? Which by the way is excellent.

      It’s a brush pen: have a look on PENTEL GFKP JAPAN, refillable with black ink cartridge. the tip is like a paintbrush... it’s fantastic!
