My latest altered book is chock full of blooms. It has a floral theme and is filled with vintage originals of photos, post cards, illustrations, and other paper ephemera from the 19th and early 20th century.

To buy (or simply see larger, still photos) you can find it in my online shop:

These are some of the process videos of selected layouts that show in detail how the page got made:
