Corazòn sagrado

Aquì, en mi corazòn, arde la llama

de la vida tan intenso que aveces duele...

Here, in my heart, burns the fire of life

so deep it sometimes hurts...

I am working on my big fat altered book

again, this is an old encyclopedia that I got

at a flea market for like 10 dlls, for four 

big, hard cover books filled with old vintage

 images and lessons about lenguages and stuff, 

I love it because I get to use the images for 

other collages and  the rest of the pages are 

for painting and of course experimenting!

This is still in progress and taking a rest now,

but it could be left like this, that`s the beauty 

of altered books!

My mom started me on this art by giving

me my first beautiful book about how to make 

them about when I first opened it, I thought I 

went to art heaven! Lol!

Since then, it`s one of my favorite surfices

to work with, some friends know about this

 and give me their old books but it`s hard to 

store them so I usually give them away 

when finished!

I`ll show you more paes later! Have a fun 

weekend!
