Sometimes when you're creating an altered book, something lovely or wonderful happens by accident. Undoubtedly this is true for any form of art. Corinne Stubson of Oregon is a prominent and well respected altered book artist. Many of her books are like little miracles. Today, Corinne published a blog post showing a picture of a page that started out without a plan but thanks to a serendipitous accident, it turned into something lovely. Read about her accident here: I Love Art Accidents Most of us who have worked with altered books or other forms of art have had similar experiences. There are times when you just throw things together willy nilly and hope for the best -- and you get the best. Sometimes you just try something for the heck of it to see what it will turn out like -- and it turns out great. When this happens, we are delighted. In interest of complete honesty, it is also true that some of these accidents or experiments are disasters and have to be trashed. Either way, its all part of the journey we enter into when we begin to create an altered book.
