I made this book with magazine pages half sized. (So that each leaf is 1/4 of a mag page)I left plenty of room between the siginatures for expansion as I glued things in. The cover college is covered with a layer of packing tape to give it shine before it was glued to the cover boards. (the boards are recycled cerial boxes) Then I started gluing with glee! It didn't really take to long to fill this one up. Some pages incorporate the backgroud image, some completely cover it up.
As a general rule in my glue books (and it only my rule, you don't have to) I say no words, only images. I'm drawn to color, texture, and pattern. I have the hardest time choosing or using a focal image(s).
Hope you enjoy the show.

ps. The pictures posted out of order, so the last one is first :/
Wow, it's been awhile, but you are still the prolific creata-gal. I just love how varied the pages are, and what a cool idea, how you made the book. It allows you to use smallish images with big impact on your pages. And the spine-only thing is cool too. Like, no front and back covers. Totally made for glueing. Thanks for the headsup to come look. :-)))

Hi Kellie
ReplyDeleteI also have started using magazine pages in my glue books. Look at images etc. in an entirely different light since getting hooked on ATC's, Postcards and now glue books etc.
