THE PANDORA BOOK

THE PANDORA BOOK
These images show how I have altered a hardcover book. I removed a great majority of the pages, then with the 40+ pages remaining I covered back and front with varying wallpapers, mulberry papers and designer papers.

WATERCOLOURS, EPSOM SALTS & PEN AND INKS....

It's been quite sometime since I have posted any art on my blog. It's also been a while since I did any intense creating! Work has gotten in the way, but things should slow down for me @ work in a few weeks or so.
I did have the opportunity to work in Christy's calendar journal though. Above are 2 spreads that I created.
Since I have been working so much, I have an added appreciation for home sweet home, so I had to create a spread about it. It's the one with the little house. In the other spread I used a quote I really love as well as some pens called 'Spider Writers' which are such fun to play with!

My daughter and I recently adopted 2 dilute calico kittens. They're sisters. The kitten that is mostly white is my daughter's. She has called her 'Angel'. I have named my kitten 'Meesha'. She is the one on the right with the grey mask. In this photo they are four months old. These kittens are so adorable and very loving. It's such fun having kittens around the house once again!

Wow, after 10 days of work I am finally here again! And boy, have I ever missed creating artwork, working on my blog and being amongst my altered art friends in the groups! I got down to finishing off my spreads in Karen O's calendar journal today, took pics of them, and now here they are!
It's so great to finally be back into the swing of things, creatively speaking that is! I'm home! lol

Friday night I sat down to create the cover for my 'Dark Angels' book. Above is what I came up with. To make a very dark and dramatic look to my cover I used paper that had barbed wire, then added a pic of a stone angel, and my hand print using a red Distress Ink.

Currently I am working in Robin O's calendar journal. Above are two of the spreads that I have created in it so far. In the one I used nature images, tissue and watercolour pens. In the other I used one of my 'papermonzsters'. I've named her 'Delilah Dewdrop'. Her name was inspired by the quote on the right page. What a lovely journal Robin has!
