Altered Book

For ages I've wanted to alter a book. I love books, especially old ones, but I would never destroy an old book. So I looked through the books at my local Hospice shop and found this mass produced novel; it was perfect for the project I had in mind.

I've used the hollow/secret book technique and built an album inside it. The album is a mini which meant I didn't have to cut a large hole through all the layers of the paper, just one deep enough for the album to fit inside.

I love how this altered book turned out. Can't wait to add photo's to it now.
