Back home I made my journal for you all too see!!

Hope you like my first try to make this Altered Event........

Next stop


Next stop was lovely Italy, then I ran out of money, so went to a casino to see if I could upload my travelling funds :-)))

Next 2 countries on my AB trip


Next stop was England, where I ran into the Bobbies, ofcourse I drove on the wrong side of the road, quickly I took the train underneath the Channel to my beloved France, climbed the eiffeltower and had some refreshments on a terras.

Front and first 2 trips.



These are the front and the first 2 countries I went in my book. I decided to make it into a travelling book, so painted the front and put one of the embellishments (the cow, symbol of my region Fryslân) on it. Then I started my trip on the motorbike to Belgium , buying some famous lace , then by car to Germany, where I had cartrouble (KRIK is a carfitter tool) .

My first Altered Book




So I made my first altered book yesterday, it was a challenge on a Yahoo Group , stuff was sent to us with the assignment to create something, no matter what, with it. I bought a children's book for 50 eurocents and started , putting gesso on all pages, to cover the glossy part. Then took a scissor and cut off some of the edges for easy browsing.
