Altered Book: black.periwinkle

"Besides the noble art
of getting things done,
there is the noble art
of leaving things undone.
The wisdom of life consists
in the elimination
of nonessentials.
~ Lin Yutang

20x12" art journal spread from altered book project "tekenfilm" plus detail

Starting with a base of black gesso (if you haven't worked with black gesso, you should really try it, such a treat), I collaged some images, doodled, and generally played around without rules! This is NaNoJouMo DAY TWELVE.

Check out the other pages in the tekenfilm altered children's book project.
