Beyond Altered Book Pages

This page is for Joanne, sorry about the flash glare but my camera isn't the best, one of the wings is lost in the glare but it is there. I painted the background and used some serviettes and more paint and a stensil.
This page is for Patsy, I used a page created at one of Ro's classes with some extra stamping and some added images and words.

This tag is for Donna, whom wanted the bird theme with the use of Tim Holtz products and Collections products, which I have used Collections papers, chipboards eggs and branch. tim Holtz products used were the stamps on the tags and lots of his dye inks.




This is the tag I did for Nicky,her theme was Birds, Forrest and Green, which I tried to cover all points, I hand painted some canvas for the front with stamps and decorated with a laser cut cage.

Arty-Oz Tag Swap

The Theme for this tag was Shabby Chic, and I struggled to get my head around it, but to me it means whites and creams and lace and buttons and peeling paint, so that is what I tried to achieve, I hope.

Beyond Altered Books

This is my first attempt in our altered book group, this book belongs to Anne and she has cut her pages into the shape of a house and added more pages for us to use. My theme for her page was a walk in the park. I have attempted to incorporate some of the techniques Ro has shown me in various classes.

Arty-Oz Tag Swap

These are my first two tags, the top one is Vanessa's, her theme was to use fabric, which I have done on the pocket and the tag. The second one was for Bevlea and her theme was to use the colours of cream and sepia with a famous quote, my quote was by Mae West and if you can't read it is says To err is human, but it feels divine.

Crafty Mum Christmas Doors

The top photo is my set of doors, the middle set were the ones we completed yesterday and the last picture is all the doors the everyone has done so far. This project was in a Stamping and Papercraft magazine last year and was introduced to our group by Suzanne and was done over 3 all day sessions and I think everyone enjoyed doing the work together and gained inspiration from each other.

2010 Collabrative Book

This years Arty-OZ Collabrative Book had 12 particapants and the pages were all fantastic, I am only showing you mine and one other, but they were all wonderful. The wonderful Teresa was the co-ordinator again and Greta and myself put the pages together with a little help by another person out of the group Joan.
