Description:

For those of you that love crafting, altered art, and have lots of old books lying around that you don't really want to read but you cant bring your self to recycle either, then lets get those old books down, and pick one to use the front cover from. There easy to find at used book stores as well, it can be any type of older, vintage cover like those in the picture, the title doesn't matter.

Once you have your Book Cover start embellishing and creating your Altered Book Cover Art!!! Theme is Sender's Choice, of course to make it extra special it never hurts to get to know your partner by reading their profile. Hole Punch the top two corners and add a ribbon or wire hanger so your partner can hang it as doorknob art or on a wall in their home.

Beginners are welcome, we can learn how to do new Altered Book Cover Art together! Lets do work that were proud of, and above all have fun!!! Im putting this up now, even though we wont send til August, so we can start working on our Altered Book Cover Art as soon as we want!

You should bubble wrap or cover it with tissue paper to keep your embellishments and art safe during mail travel, and I think it would be fun to include a lil card or letter just telling your partner what book you chose to use the cover from and why you chose it. Tell them a lil bit about how the experience for you was creating your Book Cover Art!

I am going to try and run a series of different Altered Book Art Projects. Next up will be: Book Page Flowers & Book Page Butterflies!!! Those will be USA & International since they will be very light to ship!

4.98 to join and 8 type 3 swaps completed, no ones or excess of threes past or present.

I so wish I could join this one...but too much on my plate at present. Hopefully, you'll host more in the future:)
