I was looking for an "oldie" when I found this spread I created in an altered book. It is from January 3, 2008 and I named it The Italian Girl in London. I have copied it in its entirety below. This is what my art looked like in January, 2008.
The Italian Girl in London came about when I found these two disparate
pictures in two different magazines. What luck!! The background to both
pages is wallpaper samples I got at Lowe's (a big box home improvement store)
a few years ago. One of the pieces wasn't long enough, so I added a bit
of sheet music on the left. For the embellishment, I tied various
fibers alternating with organza to a safety pin.
The wallpaper doesn't accept glue well, so I used a bit of "The Ultimate," a white glue that several of my AB friends recommend. I was unhappy with myself that I apparently used too much on the left title, because as I was pressing it to the wallpaper, it tore. Guess I'll have to learn how to use the stuff.

This is very beautifully created! Fun idea with the second!
ReplyDeleteI found one (added) and guess what. After a while the cuppa landed back in the street for someone else to take!
I am always blown away and awed by your creativity.
