A Lace Book for My Etsy Store

Now tell me!

Just what girl doesn't love old lace?

I know that I have always been addicted to such
beauties

so I decided to pull some out of my stash

to create a book full of some of the most

gorgeous laces I have

and put it

into

My Etsy shop.

The pages are all made from a wool wadding mix

(rather like felt)

which I have dyed.

Each page has been heavily layered and collaged

with doilies, some dyed,

as well as dyed cheesecloth

(using my silk dyes)

and, if you look closely, you can see some dyed raw silk

which I have captured in the layers.

Some other features also include

these gorgeous printed French accented

images onto a soft calico ribbon

which I purchased from a beautiful

Etsy shop called

http://www.homesteadtreasures.etsy.com/

And some of this most beautiful vintage lace came from

Marie at

http://www.santangelodesigns.etsy.com/

So many beautiful vintage laces and medallions

one of which I used on the front cover

(see above).

Inside back cover looks a bit like this:



And this shows the sum total of 12 pages

standing alone:

So if you can't resist beautiful laces and doilies,

 dyed and stitched raw silk, dyed cheesecloth,

mop buttons and embellishments

then go and visit

my Etsy Shop

above

or

www.suziqu.etsy.com

I was thinking what a lovely idea for a giveaway

 but no promises (not yet anway!!!)

Thank you to all the wonderful comments I have

received about my journals and a very

Big Thank You to all

I shall endeavour to visit you all soon!

Have a cosy weekend enjoying

what nature has provided!
