Artist's Comments

While ^kuschelirmel was visiting me, she checked out some of my traditional work I haven't shared on DA before and encouraged me to do so. So this is one of my altered art - paper bag books.

The book measures 5" x 5 1/2" and is created out of 3 paperbags, so there are 12 pages overall.
There are lots of details and in the hidden pockets are pullout pages with extra images . Also included are a variety of tags and bookmarks which can be removed and are usable.

I tried to use many organic pieces like dried flowers, leaves and wood to give it beautiful natural feel.

I think I have never spent this much time on a paper book before and it ended up to be my favourite altered book so far.

Full view for details :D


The images used in the book are purchased stock images and are therefore free for use in artprojects.

I do my thing,
And you do your thing.
I am not in this world
To live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world
To live up to mine.
You are you and I am I,
And if by chance we find
Each other, it's beautiful.

Wow, it's really creative! I love every single page but my faouvrite would be the one with the woman on it. I'm not sure what it is that draws me to it.

Very creative and unique. I really like earth tones used throughout the book. It also has an inclusive multi-cultural feel about it to me.

you make me want to dance
a storm of appreciation
your ink splashes and crawls,
a wriggling living line on the page
i’m full of awe
