Deconstructive Journals!

Hey guys, tomorrow we'll be starting our deconstructive journals! Now I know you've always been told not to write in books or rip out their pages. And normally I agree with these rules, but there are times when rules are meant to be broken!

Deconstructive Journals or Altered Books are old books that have been made into art. You can do anything you want with them, use them as a scrapbook, photo album, journal, and canvas--there are no wrong answers.


I'll be bringing my deconstructive journals so ya'll can get some ideas for your own. But in the meantime, here are a few examples of what altered books can become:

This artist's book is an ongoing project:

Hope this gives you some ideas!
See you tomorrow,
