This is a two page spread from an altered book created when I was teaching myself this NEW creative technique. It has been taken out of the original book because I really like it and think I want to display it in a frame. One of the things I learned during this process is sometimes a really good result can be on the opposite side of another really good result, and you have to make a decision if you are willing to give up the other side. Fortunately, in this case, it wasn't an issue. But there are a few others in this same book that I'm not yet ready to relinquish. Keep the entire book together? That is certainly what many altered book artists do and I hope that some day I will get to the point where I'm happy enough with all the pages and can do that. I'm no where near that yet.
Progress not perfection, right?

Baby steps! I've seen art where what was on the backside could be seen from the front through the paper which added positively to the front image.
