This is awesome. I just discoverd Brian Dettmer last week and am in awe of his work. This one is fabulous. I definitely want to learn how to do that. After I arm myself with loads of patience.

Hi Michelle, and thanks for your comments.
I'm quite a good modeller in various media, and i've found ways of combining modelling materials with the pages removed from the book. So basically, Northern Muse is just as she looks.. constructed over the…
Krissie! Hey, welcome to the crowd :)
I didn't know you were here... so cool. I'm going to add you as a friend. When I do you have to accept it. You will see a little icon at the very top of the page with a happy little guy that you can click on. I added Linda and still have to tell her how to accept. Oh yea, Linda is here too!

Hi, Kristen, welcome to our group. Hope you'll have time to swap some art with us. Enjoy your time with us. It's a nice neighborhood and it's fun getting to know everyone. ")
I'm a Mixed Media Artist with a preference for Altered Books and Artist Books. I'm an Art Psychotherapist and a working artist, and am lucky to have my own studio space within which i'm building a gallery area.
Where I'm from:
Pennines, Northern England. I live in Saddleworth, a beautiful place of wild moorland and small woods
About my Art:
I have grown and developed in style over many years of working and teaching and now have skills in so many media i've quite lost count. I combine all to construct my books and will alter anything to give it new life. The process of making is as relevant as the outcome to me, and i do not get too precious over my work. I particularly love arts that i can interact with, and like my 'audience' to do the same.
Forever onward! I have been combining AB with altered dolls as i enjoy a human connection with the printed word.
I'm also building a gallery in my studio space and intend an online version of the same to allow 'visits' from anywhere!
