Hearts and Crafts

Here is yet another project using a heart image. Actually, there are four different images on this particular project, one of them just happens to be a heart! It's a little wood "book" with two pages.

Torn pink paper is collaged on a 2" square wood base. Cut-out hearts and tissue-stamped word are layered on top. The wood square is attached to another sqaure with jump rings.

Hearts and crafts, two of my favorite things, and they just happen to go together beautifully, in my opinion!

AB Page Additions

Here is the altered book page from the other day, after a few additions. Red rick rack was added along the top. Wrapping paper heart glued to right page and outlined with red paint. These pages might be done - for now!

Altered Book Pages

Another set of altered book pages here. So far, I cut a heart-shaped hole for the face to show through, I dry-brushed red ink over the pages, and I placed a clear red heart over each "love" word. The arrow was created by placing an arrow-shaped sticky paper on the page before brushing on the ink.

The great thing about altered books is that they are finished unless you say they are. I did these pages quite a while ago, and I was finished with them at the time. Now I want to add something else - maybe some fibers and other embellishments, I'm not quite sure. One thing I know is that I don't want to cover all the "love" quotes on the left and upper right. Stay tuned and see what happens!
