I don't know why I said "trash".... probably just to end my post without admitting that I save just about everything. I do save all my old prints... I use the reverse sides for proofing, cut them up for collage, ATCs, book covers, cards. An altered print book sounds like a good idea.... this last print is wide and I could fold and make a book to alter with beads, whatever. My mother made baskets out of old Christmas cards... must be sort of what you did.Carole Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874480972964140819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272488.post-35521526832673844462007-06-10T18:29:00.000-08:002007-06-10T18:29:00.000-08:00hi--I used to save all my imperfect-not-good-enoug...hi--I used to save all my imperfect-not-good-enough-to-sell" linocut prints---and once I even made a basket out of some of them (I cut them up); I used an antique basket made out of old antique cards--cut and crocheted together as the model--and I put the basket in an art exhibit and someone bought it! So perhaps save your prints that you plan to "trash"--and use them in another piece of art? anyhow, I make more mixed media pieces with paper and fibers and beads all together in an "altered" book or something--so I don't throw away my rejects (at least until I move--so I toss stuff about about every 10 years;-)<BR/><BR/>nice painting here Carol--they make me see your area so well--makes me homesick...Aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833056164328878936noreply@blogger.com
