Completed Journal

My Pre-Raphaelite Women Journal
is now complete.
Actually it really looks a bit more like a picture book
with pages of layering and collaging.
I'm afraid there is no room left for journalling here!
Here are the front and back pages 
I have used several tapestry fabrics here
plus laces, printed silks, and cottons.
The tassels are made from sari silk, scrim, lace and thread.

I have posted the first two inside pages here and have decided to
make a slide show of the whole journal for you to see in its completed form.
