Guest CT Member : Michele Kosciolek

Hey folks! :)
Today we have SUPER FAN Michele Kosciolek visiting us with a superb altered book! I'll let her take over form here ;)



Michele here and I am an aunt, a daughter, a sister, a friend and an UBER fan of Um Wow Studio!  Born and raised in Michigan, I found my way back almost 8 years ago after living in California for over 15 years.  I think someday I will find myself back in California but no matter where I land I LOVE to create!!!

A very dear friend of mine lost his father recently and asked me to do something special with an old photo.  I have been waiting for the perfect idea to come to me and it finally did...I used a vintage book to create a frame for the photo.
 
 
 


 
 
Items used:
VLVS!-clockface
Prima- flower, brad and pebble
Vintage bits- gears, clock hand, scrabble letter and film negative
Tim Holtz- film strip, light bulb, archival ink and distress ink
Misc- mod podge, inka gold, metal pull and metal flourish
