Another Altered Book

In one of my earlier posts, I shared a picture of an altered book that I am working on, made from an old hardback book found at our local library give away pile.  I covered the front with felt, and did a mini collage on the front.  I then worked at gluing pages together on the inside and painted, colored, glittered, collaged and glued those pages, it's a bit time consuming, but easy and I like that kind of "tedious",  as my husband would say, work.  Then, taking inspiration from a collage workshop I attended, I wondered how it would work with an old children's board book.  It doesn't matter if it's bent or written on or coming apart, glue stick and modge podge handy, not to mention really cool duct tape, and I have to say, it has become a wonderful base for this book.  What's fun,  is that it gives the whole meaning of a scrapbook an altered twist, I love that you can paint, use just about every medium you know in one book.  

What I did was to find an old board book for start, and then glue scrapping paper on top, and just let the ideas kick in.  There's pencil drawing, collage, modge podge and glitter , and that's only the front, I can't wait to get to work on the inside.
