Fi Webster's photos with the keyword: altered book

Created for a collaborative mail art project: a 1960s children's book, Fish Do the Strangest Things (cover in comment here ), is being mailed among a set of mail artists-- each taking 1 or 2 chapters to alter as we choose. The only rule is that we're supposed to leave original text & illustrations visible. Collage additions to these pages are from an 1880s encyclopedia (white) & a WWII-era manual for American infantry on Pacific Ocean fishes (tan). (Sorry about how small the text is: you may have to click for the larger size to be able to read it.) This project was really fun! =grin=

The only rule is that we're supposed to leave original text & illustrations visible. Collage additions to these pages are a history of the word remora typed on a 1942 Remington Rand portable (orange & white), plus fragments from an 1880s encyclopedia (white) & a WWII-era manual for American infantry on Pacific Ocean fishes (tan).

The only rule is that we're supposed to leave original text & illustrations visible. Collage additions to these pages are a personal story I typed on a 1942 Remington Rand portable (yellow), plus fragments from an 1880s encyclopedia (white) & a WWII-era manual for American infantry on Pacific Ocean fishes (tan).
