Description
A little different than what I normally post, but I've been learning altered book collage for the past 8 months.This is the beginning of a new altered book I have started.
Materals: bees wax, melted crayon, cloth, and acrylic paint inside an old biology textbook.
a total stranger one black day
knocked living the hell out of me--
who found forgiveness hard because
my(as it happened)self he was
--but now that fiend and i are such
immortal friends the other's each

This is a really nice style. I'm currently making an altered book in photography right now, and this is similar to what I want mine to be like.

Wow, super cool looking. Especially that hand. It's creepy how it almost looks like it's inside the page. I assume you did that with the wax.

Thanks...yeah, it's all layered within the wax. And it smells like honey

Yes. Honey! That's exactly what I need for my tea. Regardless of it's macabre illustrations, I think I'd have difficulties not licking a book that smelled like honey.
