Altered Book....in progress

Here are a couple pictures of my altered book in progress. The top picture is the front and the bottom picture is the back cover. The theme I chose for it is "give me wings" so I tried to include photos to show what things/activities give me metaphoric 'wings'. It's still a work in progress. I think I may use some colored gesso to make some of the images stand out more and some fade into the background. So far, I glued on all the papers and covered them in a thin layer of semi-glossy acrylic laquer. In person it has some shine to it and the gold/brass pieces add some 'bling'. Unfortunately, they don't stand out in a scan.
