Here you have a bazillion closeup pictures of my latest
Gypsy Love Boho Journal
I'll describe each page as we go....
Available in my Etsy Shop HERE
The cover fabric is so beautiful I decided to leave it as is...embellished with some exquisite vintage black laces and tied with a lace ribbon.
It measures more than 8" thick!
Beautiful gold metallic stitching...
A better view of the thickness....
Inside the first layout....
On the left is a mirrored belly band holding the special MIRROR MESSAGES packet.
I just love the way this found scarf and beading encircles our first image. The netting is over 100 years old, dated 1919 from a milliner's estate. The ends of the scarf are bound by a Tribal bell.
Second layout....
Left side is a deep pocket of embroidered sheer fabric, surrounded by lovely black flower lace. One of the six journals slides inside.
On the right...this image, printed on cotton, and a lovely (repurposed) feathered earring, secured by a thick fabric rose. Also is a smaller pocket with tags inside.
Next spread....
I love the look in her eyes....and the little mirror seemed perfect replacing her crystal ball. More vintage milliner netting too. The trim across the bottom also serves as a mini tuck spot.
On the right is a sequin netted lace trim, with a beaded pompom in the middle. Note a deep side pocket on the right.
Next spread....
I found the special spot for this belly dancer's bracelet...love the sound! Vintage lace netting makes a perfect see-through pocket.
A Gypsy with attitude! Vintage lace netting, sequined appliqué, pieces from a black stone necklace, and hand painted lace trim.
Next spread.... two belly bands with journals tucked inside.
This flower appliqué is made with many elements. Vintage doily, hand painted Venise lace, needle felted leaves, milliner's netting, and an exquisite Czech glass button.
Closeup of the many layered flower....
This spread sports both a belly band and deep pocket....
Note the tribal charm tied on with a scrap of silk Kantha cloth. You'll see more Kantha cloth on the last spread.
More Kantha cloth and Tribal embellishments.
This last spread was created with layers of beautiful silk Kantha cloth....
Left side slant pocket, vintage button, hand painted Venise appliqué.
Right slanted pocket embellished with a multi-layered flower.
So...the following pictures show the MANY journaling cards, envelopes, pockets, and SIX JOURNALS!
The key is your invitation to look into the mirror to read your SECRET fortunes! Each fortune is tucked inside. Corners rounded and edges inked. ALL have journaling lines on the back sides.
Over 16 postcards...blank lines on the back sides for journaling notes and thoughts....
Sample back side of ALL tags and postcards.
A few cute tags....
More tags....
And, of course, lots of fortune...
SIX journals! That 186 pages to journal on!!
Each journal has unique lined pages...
Several journals have tuck spots....
I love this torn tuck spot page....
Here are the many hand made envelopes and pockets....
