Blooming Books by Cha |
My Story
I guess I became an artist as a happy accident. Although I have been crafting my entire life, I never really considered myself to be an artist until very recently. When a tragic incident befell a much loved book, I simply could not throw it away. Instead I asked myself what I could do to still find some use for this now water damaged book. Out came the scissors and with a little imagination the Blooming Book was born. |
I know many people cringe at the thought of “destroying” a book but to me it is a matter of creating something new to love out of something that might otherwise sit on a shelf forgotten. I recreate the book, giving it a new life and hopefully helping it find an entirely new way to be loved and enjoyed. |
I only ever intended my creations to be enjoyed in my own home by my family and myself. Thankfully I was encouraged by a dear friend and fellow artist to share my works and try my hand at local art shows. I have been warmly received and “Blooming Books By Cha” will hopefully be making its rounds at many art fairs and markets in the future.
