The inspiration that's been brewing in my soul boiled over yesterday. It was very liberating!
I've always been a fan of Altered Books - and by always, I mean ever since I saw one in Collage (a craft store) about a year and a half ago. And I've even tried to start one...Key word tried. I just didn't feel my artistic eye was up to snuff, so I became discouraged and quit.
Still being a fan of the Altered Book look, I continued to think about them and search for inspiration. Recently, I've been reconnecting with my heavy metal side, and then it hit me. Music. It was like my mused reached out and slapped me in the face. I was listening to "Enter Sandman" by Metallica (a song I've heard several times before, and this hadn't happened) and I could see the pages of the book forming before my eyes. I let the images brew for a few days before I spent HOURS yesterday sketching and looking up Altered Book internet galleries.
I plugged in my Zune and let the inspiration flow. And now I'm anticipating getting supplies and getting started!
Right now: Feeling very Zen.
