Sewing Journal and Bookcharm

A sewing journal for a friend that sews: Bookcharm for the above journal:

Botanical grass journal.

Picked the grass while on a walk one day. When I got home I dried them between some pages in a phone book which flattened them. Sometimes when working at my studio table I often toss paper scraps into a box. This day I reached for those scraps and found these words. I think they call that serendipity! This journal has many layers. Finished it off with fun fibres on the coil spine. Bound with my Zutter machine.

A journal cover appropriately titled "A trumpet call of spring".

Another journal cover done in the crazy quilt patchwork design using vintage music related papers. Finished off with a soft gold embossed design giving it a very subtle look.
Stamped the flourish design on lower bottom. It is a timely posting - with spring!

Journal with Crazy Quilt music related vintage paper cover.

Used some vintage papers from a very old music magazine to create this cover. Once done I gave it a coat of gesso to fade out the text etc before stamping it. If you would like the piece before I gessoed it please visit my RUSTIC PIXEL BACKGROUNDS blog and use as you please.

Butterflies journal made with Yupo paper.

The cover on this journal is made with Yupo watercolor paper. Hand stitched it onto a layer of illustration board. The butterflies (from Somerset Studio magazine freebie insert) were applied using the image transfer technique. The letters forming "Journal" were cut with the alphabet die cut on my cuttlebug on label sheets. Once cut I peeled off the paper and pressed them down at random then painted over the entire Yupo paper surface.
The heart I cut from mylar just by hand then ran through one of the embossing folders on my cuttlebug. It will act as a bookmark. Thanks for reading!
