an altered Alice book with Altered Pages and ArtAnthology




Happy Thursday, everyone!  I've been working on another altered book, this one with an Alice In Wonderland theme.  Here is the cover--it has a niche full of Alice related items:

Some delicious ArtAnthology Baby Blue Eyes Sorbet paint cut with gesso added a tint to the fabric cover, and on the back of the book cover, you can see the paint "straight"--such a pretty color--used with a stencil:
back cover--the edges are distressed with crayon

I'll be sharing layouts from the book with you as things progress--I'm thinking the Baby Blue Eyes should make for some great water effects, as it has wonderful texture when applied more thickly than I used it here . . . thank you for stopping by, and don't forget to leave a comment to be entered in the October draw for some yummy ArtAnthology and Altered Pages products.

  2. My favorite post in awhile - I am engrossed in anything "Alice" related -and both of these are delightful. I love Trisha's altered book - and that fab frame that she used around the niche really gives it a wonderful old world feeling - can't wait to see what she's going to do with it from here. And Lyneen's spooky White Rabbit card is delightful - funny how Alice in Wonderland fits so perfectly into Hallowe'en themes! Thanks for the great post!

 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.
