Jewels of the East

This is an altered book called The Spirit of Women, 2006.  It is dedicated to the creative and exciting spirit that is found in all women.  It is filled with lots of symblisims about how women see themselves, from Mothers and daughters, to their careers, to their fantacies.  The style is collage and mixed media. 

A lot of my co-artists at a Yahoo Group called Altered books have encouraged me to show my work.  If you are an Altered Book artist and would like to join this group just go to Yahoo Groups and type in Altered Books.  You will find all kinds of beautiful art and tons of tips, help and encouragement.
