Altered Book beginnings ...

I set up my table today so that I have a space to work, and began my Altered Book. To being the process I painted some pages ... I like to start this way because the colours I use motivate and inspire me ... the blank page is so off putting ... concentrating on the colours and the painting, empties my mind of all useless and unnecessary thoughts. Ideas then begin to form ... at least it works most of the time. If no idea surfaces, I just leave it for a while and return to my art work when I am again drawn to it. 

The Altered Book is not something to rush. It will probably take me a few weeks to complete it.
