Book Cover - Sand
I mixed sand with pva until it had the cosistency of cement - I then, using a palette knife, put it on to my book. I love the way it feels and looks - I'll be adding a titled name plate just as soon as I decide what to call my book.
Oh wow, it looks dead weird when you do a close up of it, you can actually see all the grains of sand, it just looks like it's all going to fall off!!!!! Can't wait to see what you do with it next - xxxx
Hilda how unearth did you come to the conlusion - 'I know what I'll do I'll buy a shed load of sand and cover my book with it'!!? Like Sam I'm intrigued by what you are going to do to it next! xxx
Have to admit that it looks like it would break up in your hands but you say it is solid like cement, so that's great Hilda. Yes, just HOW will you attach a title? Can't wait! xx

Ditto Sam's comment it looks are crumbly, is it heavy? waiting to see how the name plate works how will you attach it?
ReplyDeleteIts not at all crumbly - it's solid like cement and yes Zoe it's heavy and Joy - I saw one done in a altered art book I've got
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea, can't wait to try it. I bet it feels wonderful. :)Bea
ReplyDeleteNow there's a clever idea. Cheaper than "terra" that's for sure !!!
