Textures on Newspaper pages
I was playing with a variety of textures on torn strips of newspaper. After
tearing the sheets freehand, I glued two pieces together to make the pages more
sturdy, but not the same height. I then proceeded to paint, spritz, and apply
molding paste through stencils onto the pages. I also did some stamping.
I then folded them in half and placed them inside a leather cover, and
stitched just one signature.
The brass clasp is from the hardware store....just love going there for
supplies!

Week 40 - Documented Life Project
Week 40 of The Documented Life Project was a joy to play with...three colours I never use. The centre of the hearts are fabric; the blue I really had a tough time finding in my stash!

Paper bag album with fabric cover
This is a large paper bag album made with bags from our local liquor store. They sure are sturdy!
I made the cover using heavy drill fabric, collaging trims and scrap material all over. Both covers have transfers from magazine photos.
The pages are the Mariposa stack paper collection and sewn with a Coptic binding, complete with three pockets for treasures.
