Altered Book

Did this on the retreat, but couldn't show you as I was giving it to the star herself for Christmas



The flowers are punched and glue gunned on to polystyrene balls, the Tutor had 3 on her version.

That's fabulous Karelyn, a smashing gift.

OMG! That's awesome Karelyn. Stunning work hun.

Saw this on my phone this morning, even better now as have a bigger picture to gawp at. Do you build a frame round the book pages?

It was a Jane Hewitt Class at the retreat. I think I still have the instructions if you're interested. We used the Graphic 45 papers which are halloween themed, only as you can see also fairy tale. The idea was to use lots of frames and have layers to look through, the pages are not stuck together like other altered books I've seen, we just opened the book sort of centrally, and the black/cream strip piece is put in the centre, but not to the edges of the pages, then other paper are used to cover the rest, then layer up, foam pads, more paper, frames to suit.

Wow thats Fabulous, bet she is well cuffed with it.
I would def need step by step to do it.

That's gorgeous Karelyn, bet she was thrilled with it.

Oh wow how fabulous that is.

Fabulous altered book Karelyn well done! We need the instructions now

I know what you'll be doing at the next retreat. its fantastic.

LOL it's v time consuming and a fair bit of fussy cutting, not everyone's cup of tea.

Well, it's my cup of tea, that's for sure.

I might have to have a go at summat like this.

You would make a great job of it.
