In this little video I take you through my altered book - showing you how I use vintage collage to decorate and make ephemera to store in the many pockets and tucks. This book is based on Natasha's beautiful Altered Book on her inspirational ‪@TreasureBooks‬ channel. #collage #vintagecraft #TrulyVintageEphemera #alteredbooks

I love the concept of the altered books. As you don’t have to sew the pages back in. So, I’m Just starting a couple here. And looking for some inspiration. Daddy cool, now that’s cool 😂😂 cheers from Newcastle 🇦🇺 and TFS.

What a wonderful altered book, Grace! I love the fact that you didn’t totally cover all of the pages with digital or scrapbook paper. You created some folds I hadn’t seen before. I especially like the pockets you made by cutting the pages horizontally.

Thank you for sharing this. It's given me a lot more ideas. I've done one altered book so far and didn't enjoy it as much as sewing signatures in, but after seeing yours, I'm gong to give it another try. I think I tried too much in covering up the writing instead of embracing it. Thank you x

Hi. I'm glad I inspired you to work on your one book. I must say I enjoy the process and I don't really "do" anything with them but admire them. You could use it as a journal to write in by including lots of blank journalling tags in the pockets 😀

I'm just finding your page and altered books. Fabulous idea! Will you be doing any videos on specific pages? You said for a few of the pages with pockets and multiple folds you folded and glued and then cut. Would you be willing to show how some of these are done for a beginner Iike myself to see and learn from? I bought a book and I'm ready to go. Thanks so much.

@gracekeogh 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Cindy. Thanks for your comments. This book originally had about 130 pages. The final journal has around 50 pages used to construct the various pockets. I randomly took out 2-4pages at a time. The final book does sit open (I call it a rhinoceros album ...lol) but that's how I like them. Hope that helps 😀

@nonstopmom8185 2 жыл бұрын

Did she say "every other page"? I have seen and done a couple where you take out about every 5th one. That leave so many pages. I like this technique better.

@helengibson8196 2 жыл бұрын

I think it is best to remove about two-thirds of the book. I first saw this on Natasha's channel from Treasure Books. She explains in a video which pages she removes. I love the way you have done yours though Grace. It is beautifully decorated.

Hi, Thanks for your comment. I totally agree. I'm afraid I created this altered book very early in my KZfaq days and honestly didn't think anyone was actually watching me. Do you happen to remember who the artist was? I'll gladly update my description. Update... found it., I've edited the description. Thanks again for your comment.
