Taste of Lace



There are several ways to create a journal and for me it is all about
the most beautiful and exotic and vintage fabrics
that I can draw together
along with
lace fabrics and a selection
of different
laces
and
trims


new and vintage

and then it is about the art of


drawing it all together









and adding LOTS of embellishments
to create a totally harmonious
effect




This fabric journal will very shortly be available
in
My Etsy Shop.
Along with all the different laces it will contain some beautiful printed linen,
brocades, vintage curtain fabric, scrim, silks, and furnishing fabrics,
sari ribbon and silk ribbon
(a gift from dear Pat Winter at
mostly all of which have been coffee dyed.

Some pages are totally crazy patchworked
and
there are many pages that have been left
blank for journalling
your own thoughts etc.

I would like to mention that there is a wonderful giving person over at
who would really appreciate a little support from
all bloggers at present as her dear
husband faces surgery.
Cindy has so very kindly organised a series of seminars to help all bloggers
with all aspects of blogging.
So go and visit her blog to learn all about them.
I can vouch personally of the wonderful benefit you will gain by reading these.



Hope your weekend is going well and that you are finding it fulfulling
in every way!

Wishing you love and happiness!

  4. Beautiful and so nice to see what inspires you to get started. Does this mean your journals are paper based under all the treasure? I assumed all the pages would be fabric.
