Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. It is ok for an English teacher to really alter a book. Breathe in. Breathe out. Just keep the eye on the results. Breathe in. You're just turning it into a different kind of book. Breathe out. Everything will be ok.
Tape! I need tape! The spine has been sliced too! I must hurry if I am going to save it! Oh what have I done? What will my fellow English teachers and book loves say?
Ok, I feel better now, but it really was traumatic for me to begin this project. However, the true crafter in me did get a few pictures of the aftermath. I am attempting to alter this book for yet another challenge. I'll keep you posted on how the victim fairs.
I found the direction to this altering project here. I knew I wanted to do, but I wasn't sure what I would use it for. I went to Half-Price for their bargain books and found three $1 hardbacks to play with. When all is done I will post pictures and let you know what I will be using it for.
For now, I will leave you with the day 5 pictures for my 365 day challenge.
One of the innocent books I bought that didn't know it's life as it knew it was over.
The aftermath. Can this book be saved? Will it ever be the same? Stay tuned...

I'm sitting on the edge of my seat! I hope the book will be okay!
Seriously, it looks like a neat project and I can't wait to see it finished!
I can't wait for the results. From the looks of your beautiful books you made in the pictures the other day, I think this book will be happy to altered by you.
Great picture....the book does look sad and desolate!
Great shot! Can't wait to see the completed project.
