What I actually did after the Christmas holiday.

For Christmas i recieved a book about altered imagery (photographs, books, magazines etc.) This gave me an idea for my new year project; to create altered books in a kind of diary form, using personal images, thoughts, memories and so on. I planned it to be a very experimwntal project as it was something new to me and I had to learn how to work my materials in different ways from which i am used to.
However, after trying very hard to be creative and get started on my altered book I was finding it very difficult to produce any work I was happy with. After a tutorial, it was decided that I was going about my work in the wrong way; instead of progressing with an idea, I was trying to create a finished item and creating an overwhelming amount of work for myself. This resulted in me not getting any further than the front cover.
