Altered Book Cover

We had a great day! We started by having lunch at one of our favorite Mexican Restaurants and afterwards we visited a local Art Gallery and walked through a couple of antique stores.

Later, when we got home, I felt inspired to begin an altered book project. A few months ago I had purchased a couple of old hardbound books and they were just sitting on one of my bookshelves gathering dust.

I selected one with a light blue cover, and began removing the pages because I wanted to use only the cover instead of the whole book. After preparing the cover with gesso, I set it aside to dry.

Hopefully, I will be able to work on it some more tomorrow.
