I found this little landscape format board book the other day and thought it would be good for something. I gessoed the pages with buff colored gesso after sanding them and then sanded them again. It is about 4 inches high and 7 inches long and was originally something about Hot Wheels... not any more!
I love it that the book stands on its own because I had decided that I wanted it to be able to display that way. Once I realized what I was going to use it for I added some rough swipes of gold acrylic to some of the pages to see how it would work.

Because.... it is going to be a George Washington Bridge Book!
This is the first spread I completed, it is a collage that I made from some river photos with the bridge on the far left. I made it last year, and I don't think I ever posted the collage, but if I find it I will link to it later.
You can see the gold acrylic swipe better here...
And this is the closeup of one page
The other side...
I made this page using a laser copy of the collage which I transferred using clear packing tape. This is going to be fun!
