Flip through antique altered book “Gustav Klimt inspired” mixed media collages

When you love the art of Gustav Klimt as much as I do, you will love this “Gustav Klimt inspired” altered book. Available for purchase in my Etsy shop Treasure Art Journal: https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/14050... or DM for info. I chose this Dutch antique book (1921) “De brieven van den ouden Jonas” by Marie Diers, because of its cover. The blue linen hard cover with beautiful Art Nouveau illustration and script for the title with gold inlays matched perfectly with my idea to make an altered book containing “Gustav Klimt inspired” mixed media collages. Size: 23x18x3cm (9x7x1.2 inch) For the mixed media collages I used original images from paintings and sketches from a Gustav Klimt art book but also some printed ones. I also used images from vintage nature books about flowers, butterflies and birds, antique music sheets and pages from a vintage German book with a gorgeous Gothic script. I created 14 mixed media spreads, one page has a printed vellum see through window. I created 3 hidden side pockets to tuck in ephemera of your choice such as writing paper, drawings, photos, postcards, tickets. One of the pockets holds an original information brochure of the Gustav Klimt, gold in motion light show I visited in may 2022 at the Fabrique des Lumières in Amsterdam. For aesthetic reasons I applied a gold wax finish to the edges of the pages  but also to protect them from conditions such as moisture or dust. I wanted to keep the original writing and illustration of the cover visible as much as possible, so I only used a small collage of a hummingbird with a flower on a piece of the vintage German script book page in the lower corner of the front cover. For extra protection I created a fabric 3-fold soft cover to wrap around the book that closes with a bow. The fabric is dyed and stenciled with distress oxide inks and on the front an original image of a painting by Gustav Klimt sewn onto upholstery fabric. On the inside of the fabric cover I hand stamped the quote by Gustav Klimt: “Art is a line around your thought”   / jacky_krielaart   #alteredbook #flipthrough #Gustavklimt
