a little trip through the wild west . . .

Have you been traveling the USA with Altered Pages this month?  We have lots more stops to make--here is a look at a little Wild West themed mini book:
 The pages have a tab binding, the cover has a bookcase type wrap of denim distressed cardstock and jute--

The denim and jute "wrap" slides off. 

Lots of Wild West photos and quotes printed on vellum--you can see the horse peeking through the vellum in this layout--- "If your horse ain't wantin' to go there, then neither should you."

 Here he is, the fine fellow!

 "Scars are cowboy tattoos with better stories."

 "May your shootin' be sharp and your boots be shiny."

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
