"Little Steps" Textural Journal

Well I think I can now honestly say that this

"Little Steps" journal is complete.

For me, it is always difficult to know when to stop embellishing

as I just love to create more and more layers!

I have decided for this post I would just show you the front and

back covers including the spine as there are such a lot of details

so I have provided you with quite a few shots.

So above you can get an idea of the front with the embellishments

that have been added - bearing in mind that almost the whole

of this little journal has been made from recycled fabrics

apart from the laces in some instances.

So this is showing you the back cover with upholstery fabric,

braid,  an old tattered doily and silk for tying.

The spine with silk tye and doily

From the top looking down and in

These last two images give you an idea of the layers of laces

and fabrics used.

So there we have it from "the outside"

and

next time we meet

you will be able to view

"the inside".

There are many layers on each page with quite a bit of detail

so I promise to give you an

up close and personal

view next post.

Oh, and don't forget, if you haven't already,

to enter yourself in my
