I know what the inside paper is like... hand made stuff that sooooks up anything liquid... maybe gesso the pages before you start trying to do any techniques on them? I think it would work beautifully as a technique book and you can always use the pages as the base to add papers to.voodoo vixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969587296959836879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052125183217323901.post-12877350375440247332012-03-18T14:44:29.256+00:002012-03-18T14:44:29.256+00:00catching up on everyone who visited me for WOYWW 1...catching up on everyone who visited me for WOYWW 141.

I prefer my own take on the altered art. I'd say the book you've got lends itself to the distress stuff.Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15814728139173404893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052125183217323901.post-15331326292014146012012-03-17T18:32:45.695+00:002012-03-17T18:32:45.695+00:00Zo, am so late for WOYWW that I decided to browse ...Zo, am so late for WOYWW that I decided to browse all over instead of missing out on other posts! Don't forget to show the transfer results will you! Love your altered book...those pages are very absorbent, so you may have to size them with some of that emulsion! Love the shot of your bin..looks very like mine !Julia Dunnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164574850662878118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052125183217323901.post-11199859770968497412012-03-17T04:08:54.657+00:002012-03-17T04:08:54.657+00:00I'm not sure about the altered book project wi...I'm not sure about the altered book project with only just joining WOYWW so can't really help...but I have to agree with you I'd have difficulty cutting up any book especially one from 1880!<br />I did read that someone had used a foreign language book, so they weren't distracted by reading pages when they were supposed to be working. <br />I saw albums like the one above when we were in Mauritius...all made from bark, leaves and twigs.

I wonder if it'd be good to use one double spread to glance back to where your craft started from, to kind of chart your crafty evolution? Just a snapshot, but one to mark how far you've come? Or not, no worries! I've been doing LOs (!) of lots of pics for my scriptorium these last couple of days, and am FINALLY writing hard this evening for the next poem! Taking a break now though...and back to work tomorrow :0( Have a fab weekend hon and happy crafting!
