altered book...

I fell in love with this gorgeous old, old book as soon as I saw it. So the next logical step was to attach a doorknob to it. Okay, maybe not that logical. But I really love the doorknob, too, and somehow, it just seemed to work this time. The inside of the book was donned with some pretty fabulous illustrations, so my main objective was to alter the book around them.



I used lots of gesso, watercolor crayons, distress inks and decoupage gel; stamps are all from Club Scrap, gold glaze from Making Memories...
