Vintage Book Cover Collages

Hello friends,

A few weeks ago I posted this pair of vintage book cover collages I made recently  - but they were shown in low saturation so I could post in Simply Neutrals Tuesday.  Cheating, really, I guess, but they did look interesting in those muted shades. Today I'm showing you their real colours...




I loved the texture of the old spine, so I used it on one side of the tree, which was too beautiful to cover. This moth is exquisite. I intensified the colours in photoshop. It looks real! 



Pink seam binding ribbon was used for the hanger, after hammering holes at the top using a hole punch.




I found the skeleton leaf on a walk through the bush near our home.




The picture was printed on a canvas-textured paper.



What serendipity! The reddish stain on the lace matched the handmade paper framing it.



Since these collages recycle old lace scraps and book covers, I am joining the Share it One More Time Party 


Happy creating!

Jesse
