Altered Book Tutorial

In this video I show you how to recreate my original mixed media piece - Even This Will Pass, by altering an old book and turning it into a beautiful piece of art to treasure.

What kind of black pen you use in the end? Thanks for sharing ❤

[@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist]

Hi there, thanks for your comment.. I use a Stabilo 8046 black pencil ♥

[@shawnabell82]

This is the most beautiful piece! What kind of pencil did you use??

[@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist]

Hi Shawna, on the original piece I used a stabile 8046 but in the one that you see me creating I just used a charcoal pencil and then smudged with water.

[@craftyShirleyG]

Very pretty. Is that a charcoal pencil you use? And the glue, is it Mod Podge? Thank you

[@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist]

Yes this time I did use a charcoal pencil and I tend to use Galeria Matte Medium but Mod Podge will work just as well. Thank you.

[@crhaddock4132]

I really like this....what did you use on the butterfly that was so shiny? And did you use acrylic paints with it? ~Cindy~

[@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist]

Hi, thank you! I think it's just the way the camera caught the paint in the light! It is acrylic paint and then I went over it with acrylic matte medium which may have caused a bit of a shine.
