windows and doors chunky book

I hosted a windows and doors chunky book swap at atcsforall.com and after all the artwork was finally received, and i would be able to sort out the returns, i thought it would be fun to have an online gallery of the work.

alice in wonderland chunky book swap

i'm excited to join in on another chunky book swap at atcards.com and this time the theme is one i really love, alice in wonderland. its going to be a small group this time with just 10 players, but the work is all originals, not color copies. i love recieving originals rather than copies, it really is worth it to see others work in person

zetti chunky book swap

these fun & wonderfully whimsical pages were inspired by teesha moore's work and made for another wonderful chunky book swap at atcards.com.

i used old text pages, acrylics and magazine images, ephemera and attached a lot of colorful fibers for decoration.

funky nature chunky book

i had a fun time last month making atc sized book pages for a 'funky nature' themed chunky book. a chunky book or fat book as they are also known as are collaborative art books. a group of artists will sign up to make a certain number of pages in a theme chosen by the host. then they will send the pages to the host. the host assembles the pages together, binds the books and then sends the books to the artists.

the group that hosted this book was atcards.com the main focus of the forum is trading atcs but there are also a section for altered art swaps.

what i loved about recieving this book was that there was a diverse range of styles and colors. it was well worth the wait! this was my first chunky book, i can't wait for the second.
