Anything and everything can be used to create art in your book. Below are materials for some of my favorite techniques. They can be purchased on-line and at local art supply stores.
The ESSENTIALS.
A book(s) to alter / upcycle. Gesso. Mod Podge or Gel Medium. Parchment paper. Large clips.
With the collage / travel kit you received in the workshop and these essentials combined with whatever else you have on hand, such as pencils, markers, crayons, paints, brushes, etc. you can continue with the book we altered in the workshop or get started on another book.
Below are some recommendations and additional tips to gather your essentials. On top is an index, clicking on the word will jump you to the document section for that topic. Then click on the underlined words in the text for more info about the product and to Amazon and other stores for purchases.
