Opening the Pages to Journal "Little Steps"

I do know that many of you are keen to view some of the pages of
"Little Steps" Journal which I promised to post
but my Giveaway draw was looming
so that took some precedence


so now I can give you a look at some of the pages.


These are the first two pages inc. the inside cover.  The pages are heavily collaged and
show a variety of materials used
including a number of vintage fabrics from Rajasthan,
laces, buttons, doilies, silk rovings and
embroidered lace fabric with sequins.


This page shows some handmade paper which I made using crayons, inks and
encaustic wax.


Prose written on handmade paper.

I have created each page as a work standing on its own!
The centre piece for this page is the closure of a recycled skirt.


These pages are full of the feeling of a beautiful Spring garden full of sunshine
and colour!



Last page opposite inside cover - with antique dyed lace over blues
and browns!


Hope you enjoy viewing as much as I love creating !

Love and thanks to all my followers for
your continued support!
Suzy

    your book is a wonderful ,and gorgeus story telling about everything beautiful- and I love how you used black threads to sew on all-makes such a strong feeling to all the spreads, sweet.
    I love the blue-and wine red spreads, they are so fantastic-so lovely.
    You will soon wake up, so I wish you a good morning-and a happy sunday, sweet friend.xoxoxoxoxo Dorthe
