 Well, it's almost Halloween, and that brings back memories of all the years my mom dressed me up with all of her scarves, necklaces, and outlandish clothes! I LOVED LOVED LOVED being a GYPSY even for just one day.  

So, creating this wonderful LITTLE GYPSY mixed media fabric book was GREAT FUN! Every page of this 5"x9' fabric collaged book, will bring to mind, the sweetness and freedom, these young gypsies grew up with. Let your imagination run wild....

Each page is collaged, layer upon layer of vintage fabrics, trims, laces....and throughout, you'll notice some lovely, up-cycled designer trims and beads giving a beautiful bling to each page/collage. 

The last two pages have pockets in which you can tuck a sweet memory, picture, or treasure.
