I have long loved snipping words out of book pages to create book page poems like this:
It's always fun to see what you can create.
However, this time I decided to create poems by redacting a single book page. Much more challenging.
Making these is like putting together a puzzle. It's a great brain teaser. Plus, it's a lovely way to stitch together a little fantasy story and get yourself in the right mindset to create some cool art. A creative warm-up of sorts.
I think my favorite is the fourth one down, "Love & War." Which one is your favorite?
Thanks for stopping by!
