Prima Altered Book

This is my favorite project of last year. I created this altered book for Prima's booth and I finally get to show it to you :D I may be putting together a class on how to do this technique if anyone is interested. This is a fun way to reuse old books and give them a new life. Jack N Jill needed a little scenery.



Here is another book I had altered using the same idea a while back. I have a pile of books waiting to be altered. One is in the midst of becoming an art journal.

  4. What lovely books you have created! I keep planning on altering books but can just not cut into them - I will look for one today when I work at the used book store and you can be my inspiration and instigation. I always love your creations. Thanks for the introduction to the funky vintage company in the previous post - their products look really cool.
