People Book [60] the last page

 My book is all done, complete, finished [unless of course I had more at a later date, but for now it is done] and I finish with skeletons. I may cover it.... Altered book, found images, collage. The 4 similar skeletons were a stamp that I made from fun foam and I dressed the three on the right with clothes from a shop catalogue.

Illustration Friday - Swarm

I did the fish pictures sometime ago, but I altered the one below just last week.

The top one was a pen drawing then I have digitally layered it over a transfer print. [painting on paper with transfer paints then heat transferred to fabric]

The swarm below was also mostly plain but the fish are patterned with some purchased downloadable backgounds.

Below - I did doodly patterns on the fish and made it into a repeat pattern

Page 2 - playing cards, spotty brad, altered bangle with gingham and hand embroidery

Page 3 - computer bits, plastic circles, foil circles, round battery

Page 4 - goldwork on brown velvet. This was originally a little purse I made, but I didn't like it as a purse so it had a fight with a pair of scissors.

Page 5 -  [page 13 is actually page 5 but the photo of just the collaged page must have been blurred so I didn't use it & forgot to do another, so basically the numbers I'm calling them here are not what they actually are really]
