An Altered Book

This is an on-going project that has been fun to work at. I took a thrifted photo album and added an assortment of odds and ends including unwanted CDs, an old watch, a chain with a pendant, and stickers, greeting cards, and plain old torn paper bits.  The album had a pretty cover, I added the butterfly and dangling bead on the upper corner.   
Hah!  Behind my album you can catch a glimpse of my very old name plate from the days when I worked in a bank.



                      This is what the unadorned pages looked like.




















 For some reason my computer insists these next two pictures have to be vertical although I took them as horizontal. Oh well.





That gives you a good idea of what I've done to alter this book.     Granny Marigold.

  2. I love it! What creativity! I'm impressed and intrigued but I don't think I would try that on my own....looks like that might not be my forte at all :) But do keep posting more of your projects. I will have to fulfill my craving for creativity vicariously through your blog!
