Finished Altered book

Yay, I finished and I am really happy with how it turned out. Like I said a couple of posts ago, this is my first try at a block pages altered book This is the front cover. I put a red fox fur on it. I thought the color of the fox worked well with the over all feel that I wanted. I use carpet tape and glue to make it stick. I love carpet tape. Kind of hard to use but it sticks anything to anything. This is a side view. I am really pleased with the clasp. I drilled thru the covers using a hand drill. Then I used leather thongs that I knotted on the inside of the covers. The front loop goes around the back loop which has a vintage button strung on it.
This is the back cover. I used some textured paper that I colored with coffee, then I ran a double ribbon trim down the edge. The spine is some dictionary pages that I coffee'd. I made sure that all the dictionary pieces that I used throughout the book had relevance to the subject.
This is the last page I did even tho it is the first page in the book. It is the women of the west.

I edged the pages with gold to finish the whole thing off.

Hope you enjoyed seeing it.

Peace
