2 more Fantasy Tip in pages..



Recycled lace, recycled magazine and book images, paint, thread, digital camera component.
(Front pages- top photo)
Page 1- Memaid.
Although this page took a lot of time cutting and gluing all of her scales I think it was worth the effort! I found this image of the lady laying down in a magazine and decided that she needed a tail...really, I am not sure why she never had one originally:)
The lace flower is from a net curtain and the moon and shells from childrens books.
Page 2- The Quest for Immortality
I found the cape wearing, shield bearing horseman in a childrens book and knew straight away I would use him. Took me a while to think of a theme as I am trying to avoid any direct links to magic, wizards etc. The little square at the top right corner is from a digital camera that my son took apart.
The back of that page has an image of a young female apache indian performing a ceremony in a Teepee...it seemed to be made for the page!
I have to say I am really happy with these pages...I got my book back from Spain yesterday and it's absolutely beautiful. Stunning!!
Will post pics soon:)

You must have had such a good time making these pages. I can see the meticulous work that went into them. It takes a lot of imagination to come up with something this good. I wish I was your neighbor and I could watch you make them.

These pages show confidence and touch,
Very very beautiful and complexity.

I'd tip my hat but that would show my bald spot.

These are so lovely, Lisa. Nice work. I especially like the maiden in the teepee as an addition.

I want to know about your book also. It sounds enticing!

Thanks everyone, I am so appreciative of your comments and encouragement!
No, these tip in's arn't for publishing as such...honestly for the time that goes into them you would need to charge an arm and a leg for a whole book! It's done for the joy of collaborating and collectively achieving something unique and beautiful!
I'm well and truly addicted to these puppies so no doubt there will be more to come!

Wow! I am back from Beirut and I am finally able to visit all the blogs I love! You have been very busy, I see :)...BTW, how in the world do you glue all these? Beautiful work!!

Hi Neda, welcome back!!
I use a good glue stick for the paper stuff, a super glue called H2-stick it for the chunky stuff and I stitch the threads. Quick and easy!
