craftgrrl | 2 altered book pages (Reply)

thought I would share 2 pages I have done in the past few days.

LIVE. This spread was completed by covering the pages in tin foil and cutting several holes in it which I then filled with gold paint. I printed the word LIVE and added a bit of gold paint to that as well. Then I created a niche to hold the lid to a tin. I then glued together several pages using first bookbinding glue and then plain white glue on top. The lid was placed in upside down. I created several magnetic poetry type magnets. The magnets are all moveable- like regular magnets. They read: passion, awaken, color, envision, nurture, beauty and imagine. The scan makes the magnets look a bit dark and dirty, but they aren't. The right "page" is about 1/2" thick.

NAKEN. The one line I left on the page reads, "She was naked"
in swedish.
the mesh is placed over a vintage nude photo
the envelope houses the definition of "naken"

... and while i am at it, a pic frame i made for my sister who is oh-so-far-away

the words, which i realize can't really be seen on the scan, are from a song she sang to me recently
and the pic was taken last time i saw her
