The grinch who stole Spring
I’ve been inspired by Kara‘s the Art is Found blog and decided to make a book using all the paper/packaging from my shopping trips and catalogues. It’s pretty random and completely thrown together. But I had fun making it! The cover is made from a cardboard box, duct tape and an UO bag.
Here’s the inside.
The brown background on the right side is from a label that was stitched to a pair of jeans. I typed random shopping stuff on it
I used Anthro tags to make the LOVE ^
This one was my favorite! ^
There’s a lot more to show, but rather than making this a really long post, I just put all the images up in the gallery to the left.
Here’s the back cover:
I used a return slip for UO for it. This was really fun getting messy and throwing something together! Made me happy.
