From time to time I write some poetry and always wanted to have my poems printed, but had no idea how to go about it. Last year I scrapped some, but it was only around Christmas when it dawned on me that I could do it with others, too. Scrapping poetry is, after all, the same as doing photoless layouts or art journalling pages.
While working on the project I had the idea that I might use some Alphonse Mucha pictures, as his work became public domain in 2010. I ended up using some postcard scans and one Botticelli painting as well (he's one of my favourite artists, too).
It's taken me about 6 weeks to do this and another two before the book was printed, but it was so worth it. And for me this is the final proof that scrapbooking is an amazing technique that can be used pretty much for anything.
I was lazy to post it until now, because I don't like doing big uploads, but today I finally felt like it.
Some examples of the printed book:
