Domino Book. I used vintage dominos for the covers of this book and made 10 black and white collages to go inside. I love repurposing the odd thing.

Bird Nest and Book in a Tin. I gathered some moss from my local park to make a nest to hold some (faux) eggs and a mini bird book. I upcycled a candy tin to hold these wee treasures.

Japanese Beauties in a Box. This lightweight box contained a ceramic bowl and I repurposed it to contain a six layer tunnel book.

Fenced In. I used the top of a fence post for the cover of this book and made the pages the same shape. I added leaves and lichen gathered on my morning walks. 🍁🍂🍁🍂.

Persian Treasure in a Box. I’m working my way through my box collection, making books to go inside them. I altered this cigar box using images from a book of Persian poetry and I made a six-layer tunnel book to fit inside🌷

Tea Time. The pages of this book are made from used tea bags that I coated with Modge Podge. Sweet creatures are perched on pedestals throughout, ready to have a spot of tea with you. Cheerio!

Persian Delight. I purchased an odd bit of broken jewelry from an older gentleman at the flea market and have been saving it to use as a cover for one of my books. It pairs beautifully with paintings that I altered by adding friendly animals. The paintings are from a book of Persian poetry. Delightful.
