When Pigs Fly and Drive Bookmark

I'm not really sure what prompted me to create this pig-themed altered art bookmark, which I'm calling When Pigs Fly and Drive. I must have gone a little hog wild there for a moment or two. ;)  But I sure had fun making it.

When Pigs Fly Altered Bookmark


I started with a plain white bookmark blank, which I stamped with a wood grain texture rubber stamp. Next I added the vintage photo transparency of the lady and the car-driving pig. Then I remembered seeing some pig-themed paper in a new Tim Holz paper pack that I got recently. So I found that and cut it up a bit.  The pig image at the bottom is part of that paper...so are the P and p at the top of the bookmark. Now the flying pig is from a piece of wallpaper, believe it or not. That fit the theme perfectly. Then I just added some coordinating paper circles, and some grungy twine for the top of the bookmark to finish it off.

I think this is my first animal-themed bookmark. Who knows what might come next!
