Take A Page From Her Book

I don't have "before" photos because it didn't honestly occur to me that anyone would be interested-until I had completed this project. However, I do have "afters" if the mood strikes you to change-up your display pieces. I was getting tired of plain old black; I also had a few white busts that I painted black, trying to bring some cohesion to my displays. Unfortunately after one use, packing, unpacking, repacking they had some spots where the white was showing through. It made it look shabby and not in the good way. So while I was digging around my garage (did I mention I could film an episode of "Hoarders" at my house?) I found an ancient dictionary. I don't destroy books without thought but this sad little thing was just old brown and the paper so brittle it was crumbling. Digging further (this time my studio,hahaha, in the basement) I found some Modge Podge the wonder glue, glaze and all around friend of the crafter. 
Dragging all my finds into the kitchen I tore, glued, and glazed new displays. After they sat overnight I gave them a light spray of Krylon sealer. I thought they were...nice, but needed something. Again digging into my hoard I found some stick on letters from when Sarah and I did altered books. It turned out to be just the touch needed to bring it all together. I love them and am now looking for more old pieces. Perhaps I might sell a few...
