The Book of Fae

I am posting today because I just got done with a several month long project, an altered book I call "The Book of Fae". I researched using several books, the internet and encyclopedias to gather the information I used in the book. Each spread has at least one section of my writing in it (often two, sometimes more) and is then illustrated by my artwork. It is not a fairytale per se but more of a factual guide to the lore of Fairies, their origins, about the race and realm of fae. I played with a lot of different backgrounds and had fun creating my own fairies for the pages.
Here are the pictures I took. I took 90% of the spreads and I am pleased with how most of them turned out.

There are 47 total hand crafted pages that include collage, old photos, lace, ribbon, origami, found objects, original artwork, ribbon, lace, and a bottle of fairy dust.

Now that this is finished I can turn my attention to my newest project a book about mermaids. I have done the same sort of research, although this one will include two stories as well. That's all for now. Have a good one!
