Black and White (and Sepia) Altered Art Book

"Black and White (and Sepia)"

Altered Art Book

by Lynn Lindley

This altered art book began as featuring only

Black and White.

Before I could finish even one page of the book,

I realized that Black and White

would be too restrictive for me,

and it lacked the warmth that I always gravitate to ...

so I allowed Sepia tones to join in the creation ~

and it became a wonderful project

with lots of special and meaningful pages in black, white, and sepia.

The majority of the pages feature vintage

family photos of a personal nature,

so I'm including here just a couple

of the more generalized pages.

Below is the open book spread out so that on the left side

you can see the back cover,

and on the right side you see the front cover.

The front cover was the most FUN to create.

These are slide mounts each with photos,

vintage and new,

or small pieces of ephemera inside,

and other little images that appeal to me.
