I really love this book. It was such a tactile pleasure to create her! The wraparound lace collaged cover, secures with a vintage Mother of Pearl button and Sari silk tie. Measures approximately 7" x 10", two big signatures. Created with mostly vintage wallpapers. I created the lined journaling pages, placing the lines over a lightened wallpaper design....four designs created 80 pages to journal on...printed on smooth 32# presentation paper. Note: most of these wallpapers came from FABMO, a local non-profit organization. FABMO recycles discontinued and vintage wallpapers...keeping them out of the landfill! Some of the wallpapers are very old..antique? but VERY FRAGILE! The laces are mostly vintage, from my (extensive) stash!
Scroll through the 55 photos, I'll tell you more!
