I started an altered book yesterday and it's going to be all about "words". The book will serve two purposes....I will include pages that feature a single word that interests me...and...it will also serve as a book that stores all of the little phrases and words that I cut out of magazines and catalogues that I use in doing collage. The picture above is a page on the left side of my book featuring the word...MUSE. Love the word. And I just happened to have this wonderful tissue paper from the Metropolitan Museum of Art....and there...you find "muse" in Museum....I love it when things come together like this. Here's the next photo...
I created the left side page before I did this right hand page. This page contains a pocket. The background of the pocket is a piece of black & white scrapbooking paper. I used that same paper in the first photo...inside the cd sleeve which makes a wonderful window. I added metal letters that spell out "muse". The pocket contains a plastic sleeve into which I placed words and phrases that I will use in other collage work. So...not only educational but useful storage as well! I can add and substract words from the envelope. And I can see them....
Here are both pages together...I hope you are...amused!

sutqueI so love any kind of paperwork . So so nice. Lovely work and inspiring ..... S
I agree.. so lovely... do you have a list of the other words you will highlight in your book... or are you going to wait to see what the muse offers? either way, it is a fun project for the new year... Happy New Year, that is.
