I recently participated in an altered block swap. I have altered almost anything I could get my hands on, but I had never altered a block before now. I loved the concept, and the theme "vintage", and as sender's choice I got to interpret than however I wished. I first found (ok, liberated from my stash, because yes, I do have an entire tub of vintage children's blocks in my studio. I have owned them at least 5 years but never used one before now) a block with my partner's initial, and decided to work off of that. I covered all sides but the one with the initial with vintage foreign language music paper. From there I inked, distressed, altered, stamped, collaged, antiqued, and embossed. I themed it after my partner's preferences, and was pleased with the results. It was fairly simple as I wanted the elements to stand alone without being overpowered with something too busy for the diminutive size.
