Time for another challenge at Altered Eclectics this month. The theme as always is anything goes but must be altered art. My project today is an altered compartment book. I found this compartment book at a garage sale. It was made of cardboard and in pretty rough shape. I first used gesso to coated the box before painting the box. I covered the box with two different pieces of Stamperia rice paper.
back and side of book
I added a cord to the back of the book and used some small beads (for sand), crackle paste and distress ink for texture and shells (real and vellum) and couple of sentiment.
Thank you for stopping by and have a creative month.
