Here are pages 1 and 2:
These ladies are transparencies. The lady in the frame on page 2 is really on page 4. I cut an opening in page 2 and 3 and glued a piece of clear acetate between the pages before adding the frame on both pages. When you turn the page from 2 to 3 then the girl on page 1 is in the frame.
Pages 3 and 4:
Pages 5 and 6:
This is the tag that is in the pocket on page 6:
Pages 7 and 8:
I intend to eventually add some fibers to the tags.
This is what is in the library pocket:
Years ago I had a Kodak Disc camera, this is one of the old discs. I’ve seen a lot of altered art, but I have never seen anyone use one of these old discs in their art. Have any of you seen/used one?
Pages/tags 9 and 10:
Actually I guess these aren’t exactly pages. As you can see I cut most of the 3 pages off and then attached one tag each to a strip.
Pages/tags 11 and 12:
Pages/tags 13 and 14:
This is a copy of an old postcard I will use at some point.
I have not done anything with the outside cover yet and I have a number of pages left to work with still. I really need to work on this again.

very pretty!!!
I really like your altered book! I haven´t done any, but I love to do! But I really don´t know how I am doing?
What a great book Micki. I particularly love the tag pages. I tried to start an altered book a while ago but never really got anywhere with it, I think I might just have to give it another go
Thank you for sharing, I love the first pages!
What a breat altered book Micki I have done one on sewing starting from when I was a child throught to now and it has a lot of good memories in it.Altered books are fun.
Very nice altered book, Micki! Looking forward to seeing your mixed media textile piece.
What a wonderful book Micki. I especially love your Kodak tag.
terrific book Micki! That kodak tag is very cool.
My sister had one of those disk cameras. I like what you did to your disk.
Amazing Micki. Especially love from pages 7 onwards - my sort of thing and that kodak tag idea is brilliant. I love little pockets and hidden bits & pieces and stuff. Like the idea of using transparencies too.
I love altered books !! Perhaps some day I wil do the same like you and make an altered book!
Great look to this book! And yes, that camera disc is totally unique! Looks like that would make a neat medalion necklace using the little disc.
Your work is very intersting - love the colours, and the old disks - are they your own?
This is lovely Micki. I love the images and colours you have used and the way the second half has a different feel to the first but on the same theme.
Great work.
Hugs, Alis
Your book is BEAUTIFUL! Wow, 2-3 years? I'm impatient, I always want to see the end result now. I need to learn to let things simmer a little, and go back now and then to add a little more of myself each time. Very beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! This book is simply wonderful. I would love to hold it in my hands and look at each page in person.
Just wonderful Micki. I would love to have a look through it in person. An altered book is something I would like to try...
How fun, I love your altered photo disc.
Micki, this is wonderful – and an inspiration!
Brilliant idea using the Kodak disc film!! You've done a grand job with this book!!
I found you blog in first time and I love you works, the book is really lovely.
