Altered Clipboard


This is the before picture. I got this from a colleague who left the profession. It was all tagged up and whatnot. I wanted some artwork to hang in my crafting area. I didn't want to buy anything, so I brought this home and altered it:
I first painted it green. Then I scrapbooked a piece of paper to fit. I didn't even glue the paper down, just clipped it to the clipboard. This is the first altered item I've ever done and found it very fun. The journaling is a Thich Nhat Hahn quote:

If we are not peaceful,
if we are not feeling well in our skin,
we cannot demonstrate real peace,
and we cannot raise our children well either.
