Sometimes I feel guarded and closed off. I want to open myself to the possibilities.
This was a lot of fun to make. I was inspired to make the "metal page" by Karen Michel. She did a similar page in the book Alphabetica by Lynne Perrella. The book is photographs documenting a journal swap between many wonderful altered artists. It's similar to the book True Colors done several years ago. These books are so inspiring! The page is done with aluminum ventilation tape, a tracing wheel and india ink. Loved making it:) It was really hard to photograph, though. Couldn't get the lighting right so that you could see the quilted look. Also on the other page it's hard to see the window cut out of the paper behind the Buddha with a flower in it. You get the general idea.
that is not the new basicgrey urban couture paper is it?!!
