Journal vs altered book

I found this simply wonderful book at a rummage sale last Fall. It had a tattered and faded dust jacket hiding the purple goodness underneath.IMG_0119I wish the color showed a little more true in the photo. You’ll just have to believe me on the luscious color.IMG_0118

I purchased this book since it had a sewn binding which makes for a much more stable book when altered.

Before I begin, I really want to make a decision about journal vs altered book. This could make a really fun medical theme book. Perhaps a little gruesome. Not sure. I need to think this through a little more.

  1. What a remarkable FIND. I would love to see this turn into a medical AB. I can see little vials of goodness in a niche, or hanging from ribbons outside the book. It sounds like you have a REALLY big decision to make, dear friend.
