Twisted Concept's Holy Bible-Details

This is an altered Bible that is travelling the globe. It is intended to be focused on religions...lovely lovely pages... very thin, and hard to work on... so i ended up using polycrylic and sewing to stick a few pages together for a more substantial subtrate.

(See the big project here)

I printed out some random color images on "Inket Window Decals" and I found that when you paint them wth Poly-crylic they tend to crackle. in the direction of the brush stroke. This was more random and the paint was heavily applied, so it had some deep crackles. then I painted on top of it, and stuck it down, and voila!

Here I used polycrylic to stick a few pages together. te Blue (near "testaments" is from the opposite side of the page...the Polycrylic made the pages wonderfully translucent.

Again I used the Inkjet Decals to create a crackle. though becasue I had played with it, I was able to use the brushstroke crackle to my advantage.

detail of crackle. You can see how it crackled more depending on how thickly the paint was applied. (the dark stripes are from stuff going on under the apple decal)
