Textured PASSION

This little book of vintage goods measures 4 1/2" square.  I used so many different scraps from my stash, and I am quite pleased with it. 

front and back cover 

                     A few tuck spots with tags to journal on. 

The fun thing about having a stash at the ready, is sometimes "it" dictates to you what "it" wants to be used for.  And that is pretty much what took place with this little fiber fest.  
 

 A couple spots to journal your secret passion...

 

There is something so special about a fragile piece of antique lace. And this little bit of pink was screaming at me... and when I sewed it to a sliver of an old scrap of linen, a page of vintage pictures appeared.  That is when this book came to be titled...PASSION!

Another journaling spot. 

Thanks for stopping by...

I've really been enjoying using up my stash making these 

little gems.

 

Mini Nature Fiber Fest

Mini Nature Journal

This mini journal measures approx. 4 1/2 inches square, and is full of fibers and papers, and feathers and buttons.  And now that Spring has finally sprung here in the northeast US, out of doors is the place to be one with Nature.   Thanks to Nina of Happy Herbs Soap at Two Crow Cottage for the clay feather on the cover.  And to Kitty and Sandy Rosebud for sharing some of their fiber goodies.

 

 

  

 

With flaps to lift, and yummy texture!

 Thanks for fluttering by...

A little Passion for Nature...

Here are a few pages, a WIP, for the upcoming Mother's Day Festival.  These pages are double sided, and will be folded in half to form...A mini book of my Passion for Nature.  

With coffee dyed gauze, suede scraps, lace, 

and so much more.

It's a fiber fest...for sure!  Birds, bees, flowers, trees, and my favorite thing to make with old book pages...butterflies!

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere ~ Vincent Van Gogh

These pages will be sewn together, and tied up with ribbon!

Stay tuned for the finished piece...

 

Altered Board Book Journal

"Count Your Blessings"

When perusing the used book sales at the local library, I always find some little treasure that just calls out to me...and this old board book had some scratches and such that it was ready to rock and roll with me!

Using leftover scraps of dyed linen that we did at an Arty Tea Party, I used old dictionary pages to make my flutterby...fly!

With a place to add photos of your blessings, enhanced by lace and a peacock feather.

A little pad for journaling and extra wings to record your thoughts/dreams.

Another little pad for writing secret messages.

With pockets and tags and many textures to tickle your creativity as you journal your way through your blessings.

With a few extra pages not shown here, but truly a joyful place for you to 

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!

Thanks for stopping by!  ALOHA

This Little Golden Book of Mine...

A few more pics from the Altered Little Golden Book in previous post...enjoy!

With lots of texture, and plenty of room for personal journaling, with pockets full of tags.  I have not shown everything here...a few surprises left.  Hope you enjoy!

This baby is headed for the fair with my other Altered Book goodies, unless somebody wants to snag it ahead of time!  This one was great fun and very therapeutic after my dog died last week.

Aloha!
