"Angel Mine"
An Angelic Victorian Christmas Book
A One of a Kind, Altered Art Paper Bag Album
All the papers have been digitally created uniquely using Photoshop.
Front cover with fibers, trims, silk ribbons
Close up
Inside pages 2-3
I digitally altered the inside steps of a church, then reproduced the inner arch
and put the entire original picture within the arch. The angel is from a picture of a stone angel.
Pages 4-5
This is a really deep, purplish blude. A picture of church windows, digitally altered, grunge brushes and more layered in for depth. Angels floating around are from Victorian Postcards.
Upper right, tied with a hand dyed silk ribbon are several of the
encaustic tags, also hung with silk ribbons.
Seen without the tags. Butterfly is hand dyed.
Pages 6-7
A beautiful angel (from a cemetary), digitally altered with grunge brushes,
writing, and more. Trimmed with flowered ribbon, small tags are attached.
Page 8-9
More digitally altered papers/pages, trimmed with vintage hand tatted trimming.
Tucked inside the left page is a surprise you'll see later.
Pages 10-11
I loved the texture of the cover paper so much I included it inside as well. Digitally created with lacy layers and a sweet angel peeking through.
The right side is a pocket with two vintage silk roses tied with a hand dyed silk ribbon. Both are removable.
Page 12-13 Below...
These were actually the first digital pages I created using angels. The color of
the graphics is vivid and sweet. I didn't want to add anymore, but the large vintage silk flower on the upper left just looked like it was made for this page.
Pages 14-16
More fun papers created with wonderful grunge and lace photoshop brushes.
Vintage tatted trip and a crochet rose adorn this pocket, which is holding two of the encaustic Angel Tags.
And here is the back of the book.
These are a few little extra angel cards with wonderful thoughts.
Tucked into one of the pockets you will find this altered book cover, ready to hang or display. Made from a 1895 prayer book,
it still has the owner's thoughts clearly written!
AND... here' another little surprise for you!
Wrapped in a vintage doily, tied with a silk ribbon
It's a little folding book! "The Lord's Prayer" with ten sweet angelic faces!
For the TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS....
These are the twelve encaustic (made with hot wax) tags, or cards, each tied with a silk ribbon.
I truly loved making this sweet little book
ANGEL MINE
I hope it will bring you an experience of inner peace, joy, and love.
