This was the process I used to make the assemblage/altered book:

• Got several books in a series so they would all be the same size and cut triangles off the corners of the hard covers.
• Got a large piece of masonite board cut into 32"X32", covered the board with a stretch see-through fabric, and spray painted it black.
• When dry, painted over the black background with dark blue/lighter blue to make variations in the background to symbolize the vastness of space.
• Spray painted 8 of the book-corner triangles gold; spotted 4 of them with a light white spray for the base of the piece and gave the next 4 triangles a heavy textured background by painting them with light bronze and gold.
• Glued all of the triangles in place on the background.
• Found a great "EYE" picture which I painted over for the center.
• Added the last 4 book-corner triangles, painted in light bronze
• Added silver sparkle to highlight the center of the piece.
• I noticed in this process that one of the books I used had a title "Roof of the World"; thought this was a great name for this piece, so added the book title as the title of the piece.
