I couldn't wait to get to Bhutan. The very name was enchanting to me.
I made Claudine Hellmuth's famous "peeling paint" technique for this background. Then the page split. I was mortified, but covered it up as best I could using blue duct tape. Magazine images and pearl buttons were added to the page after I repaired it.
For this background, I used a sea sponge and dark and light blue glazes. A black Sharpie was used for the journaling and the pictures came from a travel brochure. Although hard to see, I outlined the pictures with a Krylon Gold Leafing pen.

I am totally entranced by your Asian Altered Book Elizabeth!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything like it, ever! The shape of it is great! It will take many visits to truly take it all in. So much eye candy and your techniques are so varied and inspiring! It must be wonderful to sit with!
Last year at the Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Wash DC, Bhutan was a featured country. It was magical. I did a post "Land of the Thunder Dragon". That would be a dream spot to visit some day!
