"Victorian Secret"

 

"Victorian Secret" started out as a children's book which was altered into the art piece shown. All of the images were hand-dyed before applying. There is a large keyhole cut out of the very thick front cover and also a matching keyhole niche carved in the inside pages.



The inside pages of "Victorian Secret" were all glued together, and a niche in the shape of a keyhole was carved in the pages to reveal a vintage image of a woman wearing a corset. Another niche was carved below to house an ornamental golden key. The inside is embellished with antique garter clips, vintage buttons, and small black clothing hooks. (This book won first place in an altered book contest, and was then auctioned and sold.)
