Altered Book..Window Pages

This page was painted with metallic paints, then stamped in black ink. The tag book was stamped before it was folded, and then folded accordian style, trimmed at the top corners and hole punched in the middle. Then laying the book flat, glue the two end pieces to the pages so that it folds properly when the book is closed, but pops up when opened.

This page was "added to" by cutting and tearing pages out of a map and a phone book and stamping on them. I then glued the pages on the other side of each page so that these pages fold outward. Fun stuff I tell ya!

This page took a bit more work. After glueing several pages togther (about 18 or so) I cut a square just a hair bigger than the booklet I was going to insert. Accordian fold the booklet after stamping, and then glue the back cover of the booklet to the inside of the hole you created. The booklet itself is a piece of cardstock folded horizontally, and cut here and there with an exacto knife to create pockets. Add stamps and stickers and then insert decorated tags. I have also used eyelets to embellish. The booklet pulls out when you flip to this page. It will add alot more interest once I have added some fibers to the tags. Posted by Picasa
