For years I have been creating collage on paper, in boxes, as postcards, tags, false identification cards and other things.   These pages are my first attempt at altering book pages.  Not knowing where to begin I started the first page  by glueing about sixty or more pages together before glueing a french highway map and then using an old non-working pocketwatch, cutting thru all of the pages using the watch as a guide to my cutting.  Later, finding a picture of a watch the same size,  I attached it on the page using a binding technique I had recently learned.  By double clicking on the pictures you can see them larger.
