Altered Board Book
My first altered board book was a birthday gift to my Lover.
I chose this book (it is about 7"x7") because it had six tabs that run down the right hand side. (You can see them in the first and third photos.) I used each tab to hint at spread content. I applied fresh background papers to page so I didn't need to sand or prime/gesso. I purchase most of my board books at a local discount store. They often have unusual shapes and sometimes windows and pockets. And when I find a shape I like, I stock up.
