Handmade Book, Recycled Book

Two books for gifts
Handmade book - the pages were from vintage books, envelopes, music etc which I coloured with paint. I've collaged a plain thin piece of paper to each page so that it can be used for writing in. I used a zutter binder to make the holes and attach the wire.




Recycled Book, a new book from an old one. The cover was printed on t-shirt transfer paper and transferred onto fabric, which went quick thick and shiny [probably kept the iron on too long], but I liked the effect. I embellished it with a bit of stitchery and beads.
I collaged each page with art work, found papers, printed papers etc

This image below shows most of the pages, you'll have to click on it to see it more clearly.

Snake

Paper mache, pages from an old book were used for the top coat.



I've been in London over the weekend to see my daughter and son in law.

We were going to go to the London Museum yesterday but the rain was so heavy we decided not to. But the rain decided to join us inside so after mopping the floors I took photos of Audrey the cat.
