Dear Altered Book Fans,

I am just turning you onto these Book shrines that
Samantha Wilmoth (Getty list) sent to me:

It would be neat to made a box (corrugated cardboard
would work) and cover it with foil tooling -to create
a "house" for your treasure - a personal shrine of
sorts.

I had more good stuff to post on this one -- but my
machine froze up and I lost them - I went back and
found these few for you....Happy surfing if you want
more. I do have more on my Papermaking/Bookmaking page
and on Illumination page on my site.

Thanks Samantha for the book shrines. Art of the
Middle Ages comes up every year on Getty list - I'm
just getting a head start now.

Incredible Art Department is very interested in adding
any "Personal Shrine" lesson you might have - or Foil
Tooling Niches.
