You can find links to all the secrets on the sidebar of my blog.”

I visited his place every “Secret Sunday” ’till now and I tell you:
that place crackles and vibrates from inspiration and I learned
a lot of “secrets” from all kinds of artists!
Today, I collaborate in his project and I share this “secret” with you:

Look for those at flea markets, garage sales or at the library
(most libraries sell their old and written off books for next to nothing!)
Use the pages as a background, tear out parts that you like, highlight
some words and use it!

Here’s two examples of how I used dictionary pages in my art.

I wish you all a happy Sunday!

Je t’embrasse!
