This latest altered book layout with collage techniques is in two parts. Today I talk about these black and white images from The Girl’s Own Paper and how they turn into two separate layouts. Special focus will be on collaging the background (as opposed to placing focal points). Please join me tomorrow for Part 2 to see the finished layouts and techniques for embellishing.
