Altered Book Plus

I did a little work in my altered book this week. I have
about half dozen double pages to go till it is done.
This quote by Busch says:
"Good art is a form of prayer. It's a way to say the unsayable."
Thanks to Jo for the neat quote.



And here are a couple of watercolors I made.



Visit Paint Party Friday to see some really wonderful art.

    your altered book is lovely - there is something very otherworldly about the images. I love the little bird painting as well.

    Your first piece has something wonderful about it, everything in it, it's hard to describe, it's a remarkable piece.
    Love your watercolours so much, the delicacy of them, and the details. Your birds have such personality.

    Awesome Faye! I really love your watercolors. Maybe you should start a journal using watercolors and oil pastels?

    Wonderful reality art work. I agree with Connie . . . a watercolor journal would be so creative and like a diary. . . albeit I love what you are doing with the book. Blessings, Janet PPF

    Hi Faye,
    You are really talented! I think your portrait on your altered book page is really lovely. I am fond of anything bird related, too, so enjoy your cardinal. I used to think of them as Winter birds but they seem to stay around all year now??
