Garden Journal Altered Book


This is the front cover of an altered book I've been finishing up this past week. It has been a fun project to celebrate the change of seasons. I used resin for the first time in a book, embedding pussy willow catkins in a frame.


The book is filled with my own digital photos taken in my garden. Mostly pictures of the many different birds and butterflies that live in, and visit the garden.



I tried a different way of putting this book together. I took out all the pages of the original book and then stitched my pages into the old cover and spine, also using text from the old book to add detail to my collaged images.
