Altered Book


This is the back of the book, the whole book isn't finished but feel that I had lost my way and where I wanted to go with this so have left it for a while and will eventually come back to it.



The next few pages to follow are definitely me experimenting with techniques and designs.

As you can see for these next two pages went with experimenting with paint and textures the angel picture on the left gave me the inspiration for these pages as I changed the way it looked on my computer and went for brushstrokes and this is how it came out.

I then completely swapped my train of thought with the next page and decided to go with other things he likes. Angels that kind of thing, as you can see I have made a pocket that I have inserted tags into.
This next image is the inside of the book, I chose a song that my other half likes and printed it onto Vellum thought it made a nice touch, then attached it at the top with some nice threads.

This is my first attempt at an Altered Book. I was going for a love type theme as was originally make it for my other half as a present. I found this gorgeous wrapping paper from Papertree its got velvety hearts on it.
