Astronomy Art :: The Astonomer's Apothecary

Astronomy Art :: The Astronomer's Apothecary

This altered book was featured in Amber Lotus's 2005 ArtPlay calendar and note cards. The inside background surface is torn paper collage in shades of blue. Miniature bottles hold secret potions. A vintage image of a young girl, dangling from the moon is surrounded by a star-studded curtain.

The front of the book is covered with black and silver marbled paper with the title written in gold on a piece of mica. Tucked inside of the book are decorated tags with sweet sayings about the power of dreams, moons, and stars. The perfect gift for the person in your life who likes to wish upon a star.

You can see more details from the book and read about how it was constructed at Mixed Media Art :: The Astronomer's Apothecary.

Open - 10" X 10"

ABOUT THE ALTERED BOOKS :: Each Altered Book, such as this Astronomy Art, is a one-of-a-kind piece of art. They are individually handmade using paper, paints, trims, beads, inks, and whatever else I find. Most of the books are meant to stand open on a shelf, coffee table, dresser--wherever you want to show off a unique piece of art unlike any other.

Please visit my gallery of Wall Hangings - book sculptures that can decorate any wall. And also my gallery of Reliquaries - colorful, three dimensional altered books which feature an image and a found object relic.
