AVE MARIA

Ave Maria , an altered book inspired by Franz Shubert's beautiful opera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bosouX_d8Y.                      






 
Ave Maria , a book of prayers , was altered from an old hymn book I found stacked on a shelf in an antique furniture store.  I've added only one small drawing in this book. I've used prayer cards, altered images, found objects, lace, bees wax and made three small beaded roseries which sit in the embedded drawers at the bottom of the book.
 
Thanks so much for visiting.
