Another Challenge

Today, another challenge.  This one sprung from the 7-layer challenge ongoing on one of my groups.  We were to make a 3 envelope folder using at least 7 of the following items:  Glitter glue, stamping, decorative scissors, oxide inks, eye shadow, texture paste, label maker, paint, washi tape, and white gesso.   Here is my finished piece.   I used everything except the eye shadow (which I don't own), and added a couple of things which weren't called for.  All pages began with an application of oxide ink to distress and age the edges, followed by random stamping on the outer edges and other materials as noted.. There will be a new challenge each week. 


The front cover.  Uses oxide inks, stamping, white gesso, texture paste, label maker.  Tied closed with a hemp cord threaded through an eyelet.

Steampunk Book #2 - Front

Here is a second Steampunk book, this one uses modeling/molding paste on a paper mache book base. Three layers of acrylic paint, finger-painted on,  make it look like real wood. See more on my Flickr page.

Steampunk Book #1 - Front

I had a great time making this Steampunk book, starting with a blank wooden book box. Both front and back, as well as the spine, are decorated.  There is a hidden drawer at the book's spine. Visit my Flickr page for other views.
