Today I sold another special altered book that I call Pockets Full of Memories because they are perfect for storing all sorts of tags and cards and pictures.
The cover is a collage of toile tissue and a few scraps of vintage sheet music. Every imaginable sort of tissue came into use to decorate the pockets.
The tags are quotes and affirmations that have been collected over the years.
Who would have thought an old discarded book still had so much to offer. I’m already working on another…also with shades of blue…
But this one will use vintage sheet music…probably from someone’s piano lesson days…
It will have the folded pockets that are decorated with sheets of music that have been stamped with my favorite Anna Griffin stamps. I’ll be teaching the “how-to’s” for this book at Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat in June so I’m making several different versions as instruction samples…I’ll post them as they are completed…I think my next one should be shades of green since it’s such a “green” project.
