Day 4 - Fabric Book

Slow to post, since posting meant I'd have to take pictures first.  Which meant finding the camera - then finding the cable to connect.  I think it was easier to use my phone & email the pictures to myself.  Lesson learned.

OK, the fabric book - painted cover sewn to fabric for inside cover:




Fabric scraps were layered and then wrapped around the journal pages - I really like the fairy fabric on top:




This is the other side of my wrap - visible when opened just before the journal pages.  The ribbons hold together different sections of the pages:




A friend of mine had an old Dick & Jane book to use for paper scraps - she gave me the lines where she found my son's name:



When a good bit of the decorating was done, the pages were sewn into the book.  I still have embellishing to do, but then I get to figure out what kind of journal to keep on these pages!

After 4 days of fun, the art workshops were over.  I spent Tuesday through Friday last week catching up on real life.  Well, catching up & knitting.
