Description
I apologize for the following:The size of this image when viewed in full
and for not uploading it under fan art. Turns out that there IS no fan art section for traditional mixed media type art stuff. Maybe they think no one would put that amount of time into it. I don't know.
Either way, just to be clear, YES this is intended as Fan Art. I'm sharing it here because I know there are some people who would be very interested in it, and because altered books are a hobby of mine, when I'm not painting faerie people. I will remove it, or put it elsewhere, if anyone is offended by it. No, I'm not making any money off of it, and no, I'm sorry, I can't make you one.
If anyone is interested in closeups of a particular page, let me know and I'll upload them to my scrapbook.

This is just stunning ... and now I am desperate to follow your example and do a book of my own, but I don't think I'd have the heart to cut up/paint over a poor little book! I'm such a sentimental wimp!
Honestly, though, this is utterly stunning. I don't know where you got the ideas for doing this but I am very, very impressed. Absolutely amazing work.

This is really fantastic - I've never seen anything like it before. I'm particularly curious as to how you cut out the Escher room. It looks complicated but amazing, even with the little you've done.

A definite fav

Wow, this is just so amazing, and incredibly well planned out and executed! I too just love how you made the peach, and the section with the mask and then Sarah and Jareth's faces. Don't get me wrong, I love the whole thing, but those were my favorite pages

There are no words that haven't been repeated about this that I can use. It is, quite simply, stunning. I had never seen one before --an altered book, that is-- and it's blown me away.
I can't decide which is my favorite: the mask with their eyes, or the peach. Just wow.

You must like the movie Dark Cyrstal? I saw a page that looks like the person was a ghelfling. Its face was long like a hound almost.
I wich I could purchase this. If you were to sell it... how much? (Just another fangirl wondering lol)

This is one of the most beautiful and creative things I've seen. I truly adore the staircase room and how you took different media and transformed it.
This art gave me so much inspiration, and not to mention want to watch Labyrinth again <3

Btw, if I were to take a swing at this kind of thing, what kind of paints would I use; regular or water-color? C:

I used acrylics for most of this. Thinned down with water they can be glazed on like watercolor.

That is so utterly beautiful. Have you done lots of books like this? It looks awesome, I can't believe the amount of work that went into it. The stars page - how do they move? I love that page, the blue is so beautiful.

Oh wow. I had an art teacher when I was in elementary school who tried to get me to this, I don't think I ever caught on to what she wanted. You've totally inspired me, now I must hunt down a book to tear apart and make pretty!
