Then I dug through my scrap file, collected some pictures, and gave these books new faces. It was fun, and they look much nicer now (I think)! I clipped the photos out of dozens and dozens of magazines, so I have no idea who originally took them, but I'm not going to make any profit off them, so I don't figure I'm breaking any copyright law. Any more than decoupageing a lampshade with clippings would be. And if for some reason these books ever left my library, I'd remove the covers I made, first.
Looks like you had fun!! I like cutting pictures out of magazines too-I make little collages to decorate my journal. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job!!!. They look very well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I particularly liked 'Roots'.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I think I'll show this to my daughter. She would really enjoy this idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEva- I used to do this to journal covers, too.
ReplyDeleteDana- Thanks!
Cath- I liked the way Roots turned out best, too.
Petunia- Hope your daughter has fun with it! Don't forget the mylar covers, to protect your work when you're done. (I just take them off ex-library books and recycle them).
What great fun. An idea I should try too!
ReplyDeleteReading your blog, Jeane, I am really getting the recurrent idea that you are a lover of animals!
ReplyDeleteI know.
I catch on fast!
I just finished reading an excellent novel that has a lot of.... animolatry to it!
It's called Water For Elephants, by Sara Gruen.
I highly recommend it to you. A wonderful read!
'Specially for animal lovers!
Verbivore- yes, lots of fun. Do give it a try!
ReplyDeleteCipriano- you're right, I do love animals, and read a lot about them. Water For Elephants is on my TBR!
