Pop Goes the Artist!

This is the cover of an altered book I’m working on right now. As the cover suggests, it has a planets theme–I want to do a page for each planet in the solar system, plus the sun and moon. The sun page is done, so I’ll probably scan that in later. I’m still working on getting Mercury to my satisfaction. Anyway…for the cover, I found the basic picture online and then continued it with paint on the cover. I also added five silver star beads for a little bit of three dimensional fun. I also painted the phases of the moon down the spine of the book in silver. The back cover is just black with gold dot stars. I might do something different with that later. More pages as I finish them. (mixed media, 5.5×8)
