Today’s flip through is of an altered prayer book, commissioned by collector Gene Marcos. It incorporates original vintage paper ephemera such as holy cards, communion cards, hand-lettered prayers, abbey ruins, saints, and angels galore.

High-res printable scans of similar images including French holy cards and first communion cards are available on Etsy

Please let me know your ideas for my upcoming online course for making your own altered prayer book. I will also try to work these questions and suggestions into upcoming Youtube videos.
