It's always a treat to work in my ongoing altered book and today I made a new layout in glorious black and white. Today I am using French pages from a military notebook, roses from an 1870 edition of The Girl's Own Paper, a folio from a Welsh hymnal 1867, and a cheeky bird from a nature guide 1913. Join me as I talk about collage and mixed media techniques in adding elements and layers.
