Yes I decided on a smaller project :-) In fact I decided to join in the challenge on the Object D'art challenge - this week - the book.
This is what I started with .....................................
And this is the end result ........................................ The paperback covers were reinforced with mountboard which I overlapped the actual cover size. They were then distressed & inked with distress inks & then stamped & embellished.
Spine view ............................................................. note I used some of the offcut paper from the inside to cover the spine & used distress inks.
And the inside. I hollowed it out & reinforced the edges with mountboard which I covered with inked paper from the cut out & again inked with distress inks.

good luck with the challenge rach , you have done an ace job !
I did indeed read the book first - books are a passion of mine Jennie & I have a lot that have been passed down the family :-) So it was a difficult challenge to start! Loved doing it when I got going though :-)
Hmmm Maddy - blinds ..........
I get escapist paperbacks from charity shops and wouldn't want to read them twice - never thought of doing that with them!!!
oh I love all the bits and pieces you used on the cover .. now what are you going to hide inside the book?
Wow! This is so clever - beautifully crafted. x
I wouldn't have attempted this without Jennies challenge Annmarie!
Don't know yet Ellen :-)
Thanks Hazel

Wow Rach, that is lovely!
We used to hollow books out like that as a kid, picked it up in a spy comic lol....it was for our secret things! :)
Didn't look as good as yours though! :)
Oh thanks Calv - I loved doing this one :-) Maybe a bit 'obvious' if wanting to hide things :-)
