Paste Paper Adventure

Here's how it started, crying out for something more. . .


I found it at a garage sale, in it's horrible naked whiteness. Then I thought Paste paper.
Here's how it all started.


A little bit of methycellulose and some cheap acrylic paints and it started to revive.

Then more layers and a little more depth. I'll use these for the covers

The I had to add some folders and translucent papers to go with it. These will be covers for a book that I will add calligraphy around the paste paper designs. Only I got distracted with walnut ink and sumi ink. See next

One side of the inside pages


More pages.

And they were soon to live happily ever after.
