A little while ago I was playing with some paint techniques on various types of papers. I decided to make the papers into a book, and covered it with leather, with a couple of teeth (fake) in the binding!
Here is another view, showing the medallion made by stamping into air-dry clay with a text stamp, and painting with Lumieres.

| This is the inside cover |
 |
| Lots of paint layers, stamping and tissue |
 |
| Pieces from my desk, plus some stenciling |
The next spreads are still in the UFO stages!
The techniques are mainly paint spread with a credit card, painted again, then stamped on with foam stamps and water, then scraped again.
 |
| Right side has gold stamped on the painted page, with a piece of weblike paper, the left page has glare! |
 |
| Water splotches, then scraped |
 |
| The right page has gesso, with a round object squished into it when wet. |

Looks like you've been having lots of fun Daphne! I love the books and the backgrounds!
Wow!
This is great! I love the pages inside too. Did you make the "teeth"? I love them on the spine.
Thanks for showing and telling a bit about your backgrounds too, it helps me when I understand what you did to achieve that particular look.
Wonderful! ; )
