About Me

I am Cyndi L, a mixed media artist in Massachusetts.
My experience has been that life and art are intertwined. We are all works of art
made by the Master Creator to be creative beings and my life consists of being,
doing, and creating the things that He has planned for me. What were you made
to create?

Altered Books

Cut, glue, and paint!  Why would anyone want to treat a book that way?  Didn't we get punished for doing that when we were children?  Come and see what can be done with books that were destined for the landfill...

Beads
