Altered Book

I've spent about 2 weeks off and on to get this piece done. I firstly glued all the pages together in 2 halves (Bought the book for 10 pence at library sale not spoiling a good book)I then put 2 coats of gesso on and put some hinges in so that it would remain upright. I did a lot of inking and masking to create the sky and the landsacpe. My tree (Thank you Dan) took ages to cut out and ink - I was frightened of the branches falling off !!!!!. I stamped my owl and birds with stazon and my flowers with momento inks.

I'm really pleased with the finished result
