Altered Book.... #2 & #3

Two more double pages of my Altered Book...so much fun doing these.

Part #2. A piece of left over punched border was the start of this page,then lots of flowers, a couple of transparencies,a little glass bird and a chipboard clock.

Part #3. This page was started with only a photo of my daughter's eye ( leftover from another scrapbook page ). It was not until I had finished this page that I noticed a sentence half way down that read.....' looking at me with those greeny-blue eyes that you dive into'..... how random is that,any way I had to high light it. I used a paint wash, some old foam stamps, bits of pp, odd bits of ribbon, tags, rubons and went over the lot with a copper paint wash.

  4. your pages are stunning and what a gorgeous eye your daughter has...I Love it when pages unfold and reveal how artwork connects and flows when we are not even aware...I think it's brilliant and so meaningful...more is at play than we know when we create...here is proof of that surely!
