Altered Ancestors LFB


At the Collage Stuff yahoo group, we're doing an Altered Ancestors LFB. The premise is to take an old photo of someone (ancestor) and alter it in some fashion. This is the very back cover that I created digitally. I like to do Paris themes and I love gargoyles! I added wings to the woman. Her hand originally rested on a table. I removed the table and inserted one of my favorite gargoyles. I put a little Eiffel tower in to make sure the Paris/gargoyle connection was evident. The words say "He followed her home from Paris" - the "he" being the gargoyle. I plan on having the books all done by the end of April, so stay tuned for a slide show with all of the pages.
