OK I got a little sidetrack which is nothing new for me! So as the title says on with the show. I was tell you about the altered art book that I am working on. Of course it is currently circling around USA as part of a round robin. My theme was Victorian, Edward, or anything vintage so now the old pictures come into play. So I went to do a two page spread and realize that I had three wedding pictures so those where the base with others added from my collection of vintage pictures. I must add that the picture in the bottom right corner is of the couple who lived in this house before us. In another spot is the groom as a young boy I believe. The woman in the bottom of the the right side is the mother of the groom. She is in the large wedding picture with her holding someone's hand. So the basic steps for the two page spread was to glue some flower tissue paper on to the two pages. I also glue together the right hand side page with some other pages. I then spread across the pages some cranberry red like the other pages. I then apply the different pictures on. I notice that I made a big wrinkle on the right page so I hide it with some vinyl lace with a small piece on the left side. The dove is a copy of a antique calling card. The buttons, keys, and spoon are also from the vinyl stickers. Two very busy but pretty pages I think. By the way the house in the background of the group is an Anderson's house. Many of these pictures are from town by the name of Burr. I think the population is maybe 100 people counting a few dogs.
