Gardens Ever Changing - More Journal Creating

"Gardens Ever Changing"

This is the title of a new journal which

I have been commissioned to

create!

The images lend themselves to an emphasis

on romance and bountiful beauty. 

This is a tassel which I made on the end of the

 crushed velvet tie which passes through

the buckle on the front cover.

I have used many and varied fabrics in creating

these pages 

consisting of a number of recycled fabrics

as shown on the left side page

(inside cover)

along with some 

very soft silk.

Silk, satin, sheers and vintage laces adorn

the Pre-raphaelite woman.

While I have used my felting machine

to create a field of flowers

with more silks, laces, pure silk tops

to embellish several other

pages

such as these 

plus some machine embroidered stitching

with black thread to highlight

and border other 

 areas.

The image below shows the back cover

with more gathered silks

and lace

and the buckle with the

embroidered crushed ginger coloured

velvet - so rich and soft!

In fact the layered pages of overflowing

chiffon, silk and lace

create a bed

of

softness and smoothness

like the velvet of a beautiful full blown rose

enticing enough to jump into.

Now this journal will very shortly be travelling to Canada

to live with

where I will be featuring this

new journal there today 25th May.

I hope all of you Northern Hemisphere bloggers

are able to enjoy some of this beautiful

weather to smell the roses

while we downunder

here watch

the last of the autumn leaves falling

to expose the bare branches

of the grapevines and all

the desiduous trees

that surround us.

Thank you all for visiting, leaving warm comments

and giving inspiration to each other.

Oh! How we have learned to

appreciate so much more

beauty since we have

met here in Blogland!
