"Spring Blooms"

 It really wouldn't matter what

the season was when it comes to rose blooms

because in our garden they flower all the way from the

beginning of Spring to Winter

so I have decided to call

this new journal

"Spring Blooms"

because, although we are now experiencing

Autumn here in Australia,

our fragrant rose blooms started in early Spring

hence, the name.

I have used some of my favourite pre-raphaelite

images in this book

as they worked in really well with the soft 

Spring colour tonings.

I also decided to bring out my embellisher,

silks, sheers, raw silk

doilies, coloured laces, in all the lovely Spring

shades and tonings

and pearl buttons.

I also found some pretty sheer pinkish fabric

covered in roses which I think

added to the effect.

From memory I think there were altogether

four signatures plus the journal covers.

I showed just a glimpse of these pages in the making

a couple of posts back

and it was claimed almost immediately from just these

two pages so 

it has almost arrived at its overseas destination already!

Back cover is shown here

and

the journal in it's entirety looks a bit like this.

Wishing you some lovely time over the weekend

enjoying this gorgeous sunshine that

we are just so very fortunate

to experience!

Love and hugs to all

including all of my new followers and faithful

older ones too!

Love and hugs,
