Leather Covered junk-mail booklet

I started this book a while ago - using junk mail for the pages. The stock is very stiff and makes wonderful sturdy pages...some of them are double, some are triple folded, and some have flaps on all four sides...amazing advertising formats...great for an altering person!
There are four signatures and over 60 pages of collaging, painting, stenciling; you name it, it's in there!



Here is a sampling of some of the pages:

Fabric Journals

These are my newest journals:
This one has fabric covers, and paper signatures clothed in fabric. The papers are scrapbook papers, plain and patterened for writing and also for photos...whatever the heart desires!



This next one has a fabric cover with silk flowers and lace, and text-weight signatures, 64 pages in all.

Fabric Book

These are a few of the pages from my newest fabric book. I have been working on this book for months, just enjoying the journey!
I put the pages together with an old ruler, the spine is leather.
The pages feature transfers, and ephemera that I have made just experimenting with various techniques.



These two medallions are made with air-dry Model Magic.


 This is a tissue flower, and a photo slide from days gone by!
