Old Book- New Use

Always looking for ways to use what i have collected over the years....... sorting through a box of art pictures & brochures i decided they would be easier to see if they had a permanent home, not stashed away in a box. found an old gardening book & started sticking the pictures in (torn from art magazines). i didnt want to stick the brochures to the pages, so tore the bottom of the page at the centre of the book......folded it up towards the centre of the page , added glue to keep it in place. this made a pocket to slip the brochures into...... .....the front & back covers are from old calendars..... Renoir on the back.....
........inside........lots of art i like....mostly portraits & figures......a few still lifes & florals.....




.......& this photo shows a folded pocket holding some brochures......



......a Picasso on the front. (raylee).
