Altered Book - Study # 1

My first "completed" altered book. Started with a discarded library book, gessoed the pages, collaged or altered existing illustrations or text, or completely covered over, removed 25% of the original book pages to make space for collage thickness, Modge-Podged all pages and front and back cover.

neat, do you sell these or keep them as a personal collection?

[sillysoozo]

@JasmineJean89 . I might sell someday. What do you think a person might be willing to pay for a fully-altered collage book like this? Just curious.

hi

how do you keep the pages from sticking together? I use mod podge and sometimes the pages stick. I guess i need to know how long do i let the pages dry?

[sillysoozo]

@LaSharown . This was the only book that I used Modge Podge on the pages, because I did not like that stickiness. Now that it's been a couple of years, the pages do seem to have "cured" but I don't think I'll be using Modge Podge anymore for inside pages. I've done a couple of books since then, and not used any finish at all on the inside pages.
