Altered Book “Shades of Dark”
These are a few spreads from an altered book I made with a dark or gothic theme. I used a lot of images of demons and angels. There are words taken from magazines with phrases like “hells highway” , ” the devils handmaiden”, as well as some tag art done by myself. The pages are all covered with acrylic paints in black and red with some of the books original art and print showing thru. The first spread features a playing card, the joker from an old vintage Virginia Slims deck. The card has a door cut into it that lifts up to show a couple pages of images that you can flip thru like a tiny book inside the main book. This book is listed in my Etsy store.
Tag Art
These are some collage art tags I made for my Etsy store. I’ve used large manila shipping tags that can be purchased in most office supply stores. These fairy tags have stitching around the edges that I did with embroidery floss to give them a little more texture. The backgrounds are pieces of pages that I cut out of a victorian style day planner. These were pages left over after I used the main part of the book to make an altered book about angels. The angel book is still a work in progress.
