WOYWW 176: The exploring Money edition (the AB that is)

As my Altered Book class winds down (see my right sidebar for each free lesson), I thought I would show Julia, our beloved leader and keeper of the links, as well as all my WOYWW friends and AB students a peek into one of my altered books.  I promise not to waste much of your time, because you should be able to scroll quickly if you aren't interested in altered books.

I showed the cover to my Money AB during WOYWW 143 back in February.

Note the Christmas-y rocking horse I am sharing with you today, along with a peek into the Money AB.  I hope to scan it soon (at a higher resolution, of course)  so you can peruse it at your leisure, rather than at a mad dash to visit as many blogs as possible.

Here is the inside front cover and a few of the first pages.

We covered fabric in my AB class and here is a spread using fabric as a background, as well as the cover and inside front of the AB.

I used lots of magazine images, which some of you found fun and others found boring.

I also created some unconventional embellishments.

Pockets don't require many pages and create lots of room for adding tags, which many of you love to make.

 I showed how to make this type of pocket in the class.

One thing I didn't show was how to create an extension on a spread.

I even used real money on some pages!

We began the class by creating niches.  Here are the two, one covered, one open,

I made for my Money AB.  And yes, that's more real MONEY.

The cover was a tee shirt, and very hard to work with considering how stretchy the fabric was.

I left the title (The Fortune) because I thought it was apropos.

Thanks for dropping by.  Please leave your number and I hope to make it to your place for a visit.  At least if I can keep this computer going, which is still no small feat!!
