The use of altered slide mounts had already come and gone before I started doing mixed media collage and making ATCs, but that didn't stop me from buying some for cheap at a garage sale a couple of summers ago. I was reminded of them this week while perusing
Artists' Journals and Sketchbooks by Lynne Perrella. Although this book was published in 2004, I just purchased it last year and have found it inspiring and informative; and it includes four pages of altered slide mount samples!
This wooden leaf was the perfect size for my slide mount, which I covered with vintage sheet music and colored with distress inks. I also colored the leaf with distress inks. The half cent postage stamp (circa 1920s), atlas page, and book text are all vintage.
Have a fabulous day!
