Altered pages challenge

I was in a creative mood today, so I worked on my textured challenge page and added the elements that I thought fit in with the colours. This is my first attempt at something like this and I am actually quite pleased with the finished results.

The picture is in the following post.

Another challenge

Another challenge in progress. This one is to take a book and create different techniques on the various pages. I am an avid reader and the thought of doing anything with a hard cover book other than reading just struck fear in my heart!!

I went through some of my books and found one that I knew I would never read, so took the plunge and started working with it by first glueing some of the pages together to strengthen them. I then proceeded to follow the steps as set out for us. First step was to create texture, so out of my stash I got a piece of stuff, which I got from a friend a couple of years ago; not sure what it is called. Step 2: I glued it on the pages with Beedz glitter glue. Step 3: once it dried I added some acrylic paints.

Now to decide how to finish off the page by altering it with various things, but leaving the texture showing.

More Sketchbook pages

I have been having a very creative day and finished another two pages for the sketchbook prompts. They are Family Traits and Numbers. The numbers page is in relation to numbers which are significant in our lives so I chose numbers representing events in my life.
