Kel's Kreation

So on January 26 2007 as I organized my craft room for the 100th time, putting everything into labeled bins, in alphabetical order. I decided enough was enough, I have to use some of this stuff up.

I had been reading about and looking at alot of Altered art. So I decided I would give it a try, but I had KNOW IDEA even where to start, then I remembered seeing these book boxes in Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion Magazine so I studied them and did some more research on the topic and decided this would be my first Altered Art project.

I had some old book that were missing pages and pretty beat up so I gathered what I thought I would need, glue, paint brushes, and other odds and ends. I learned very quickly the technique. You DO NOT glue individual pages (They wrinkle and don't lay smooth) You glue the edges. Also a sharp exacto knife is key.

Here are 3 that I did.
