Video Demonstration of Altered Envelope Book

Altered envelopes make an interesting hand made book when covered with papers, bound and decorated.

 

This book strives for a humorous theme, Things I Love to Hear.  I listed a few things that bring joy to my heart – and I suspect, bring joy to the hearts of quite a few women. I’m talking about remarks such as “Yes, that dress is still in style,” “Your new hairstyle is great,” “You rocked at the class reunion”, and more.

 

In the photo to the left, the remark is not visible in the photo, but it reads, ”No camping vacation this year.”  Okay, I realize that some woman may actually enjoy a camping vacation. I however, am not among their ranks. My idea of roughing it is a Holiday Inn without room service.

 

The book contains eight, decorated and bound envelopes. Each envelope contains a tag with a picture and “thing I love to hear” remark. Each page also contains a similar picture and remark.

 

I have decorated the envelope book with an assortment of mixed media, including ribbon, a bottle cap, qulling, beads, crocheted flowers and glitter.

 

This envelope book was made for a swap. It’s currently in the mail heading to its recipient.
