Orphaned Spreads

These two spreads have been semi-finished for a while, but awaiting finalization.

Pocket Page: The layering on this page creates 2 sets of pockets in each quadrant. I am a great fan of quotations so the tags have quotes on decay and art. It took a long time to find just the right tree-of-life for the center. I made the tags in the shape of 19th century coffins and used the crackle medium to "age" them.

They were way too time consuming. I would have liked to have more tags cause the pockets seem empty - maybe Leslie will make some of her own to keep these company.

Incorruptibles: This one is about all those saints bodies that don't decay - which is what helps to make them saints. I used a glazing technique from the Altered Books Workshop book. This advised using a warm-cool-warm-cool layering. I don't care for how it came out, too dark and brooding. This page also still needs some sort of "punch". To me it seems sort of dull.
