altered book pages

































Here are a couple of more pages from my mothering altered book.  I used stamp pad ink to color the pages in the top picture.  I wasn't really happy with the look so I added some white gesso to mute the color.  I also stamped into the gesso when it was wet to get some added texture.  I like the way the pages look now.

I used silver acrylic paint to color the pages in the bottom picture.  I then added some victorian die cuts.  I love the soft, romantic look of victorian dies cuts.


Have a sparkly day and keep creating!

Angela,

Your blog is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your kaleidoscopes with me to use in my art. If and when I get around to making something with them I will let you know. I enjoyed perusing all of your posts with all of your art journaling, book making, etc. I particularly love your black glitter high heels and your comments about being surrounded by men at home and them not getting you with your girly blog! I love to make books too! And art journaling, making ATC's, collage, ceramics. My blog is http://artificebylindagreiss.blogspot.com
I havn't posted anything new since June but there are some good things on there.

Artfully, Linda

I like Victorian die cuts too. I like how you used them here. sorry to hear about the disaster with your puppy. He probably thought you made him something extra special and fun and sparkly to play with :)I can understand why you were upset. You did a great job though adding it to the altered book. It looks good.
