Altered Book Thingie Part 2

I finished the second part of the collage/assemblage/altered book thingie!  If you didn't see the first part, it's in the previous post.

Ingredients:  vintage book cover, monotype, caran d'ache crayons, watercolor pencils

 Soon I hope to have the middle part done, and then put it all together, so stay tuned...

    Fantastic to visit today and see so much wonderful work going on Sharmon....

    the post on the workshop was fascinating.. I took note of the cloth filled with seeds to rub over the piece you were working on.
    How briliant to learn all these ancient techniques...what a treat!

    Great to see this lovely productiveness and gorgeous work happening!

    Patti- This is a new adventure, and I'm really in a learning curve here... thanks so much!

    Thanks, Mary Ann- I hope to do more of these, if this one works out.

    Sophie, thanks for visiting. Yes, these ancient techniques are fascinating; I keep imagining the people who did this so long ago...

    Thank you, Robyn!

    Paula, thanks for the lovely compliment- "wild and unrestrained"- I love that!

    Thanks, Cat. It was a cool class.

    Thanks, Deb. I feel self-conscious about it- afraid the book binders might be offended that I tore up old books! I'm glad you like it!
