Journal Page in progress

The bones here of another journal page!
I can't believe how differently it photographs to how it really looks in reality.
Somehow the process seems to flatten the life out of the work but this is the same for everyone (well I guess!!!)
Here I have used more silk in the background, some old and new Indian braids, organza - 3 different ones, some wool, soy tops and embroidery!
To my eye it needs more embellishing which I can do later.
Not sure yet where all this leading but is nice to be creating something!

  1. I really love that trim around the edge. Just beautiful. I don't know where you come up with so many ideas and fabrics and trim. Amazing how you do that.

  3. Thanks Judy and Anni for lovely comments.
    Judy - the materials come from my stash(which might be within inches of where I am working) and the ideas come out of my head somewhere! That lovely gold/purple braid comes from India and was given to me by a friend when she visited there. Some of my favourite things to collect are these beautiful sari border fabrics and braids.
