Ex-library Books

Making tactile & textured books 

Back in June I wrote a post about using the covers of ex-library books to create new stories. Today I would like to share one of the completed books with you. 

The outside: silver and textured

The inside: organic mixed media collage with gold metal leaf

Inside cover detail

Linocuts, acrylic paint, antique postage stamps purchased from the Smithsonian National Postal Museum, and cheese cloth.
