Altered Slide Book with French Millinery Collages

By
The other day I was going through some fun items that I've collected over the years for altering and found this Microscope Slide folder and Microscope slides! I thought what a fun project to use the French Millinery collage sheet with all the lovely images from the Marie-Claire Magazine.

For this project you will need:
AP2129 French Millinery
Paris Trunk Ink Walnut Brown
Sakura Hobby Crafts 3D Crystal Lacquer
Terri Sproul Mixers Bronze
Times Nouveau Frames
security paper
Microscope Slides
Microscope Slide Folder
Gold Doily
These images were attached to the slide with Crystal Lacquer and sanded around to give a smooth edge. To give the look of soldering I used the bronze mixer mixed with lacquer and dipped the edges of the slide into the puddle. 

The insides of the Nouveau Frames and the security paper was glued using lacquer to the cover and inside of the Slide Folder. The edges were inked with Paris Trunk Walnut Ink. Gold foil doily was added as an accent to the collaged front and inside cover. Words on the collage sheet were added to the cover as well.

Thank you for looking!

 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.
