There are a couple of Fabric and Lacebooks
which I created a few months back
which I would love to
share with you.
I know you may have seen some glimpses
of pages in previous posts but here is one
in more detail.
"Catching Innocence"
Most of the images I used as the central focus
are of some Daguerreotype cabinet cards
because I am so smitten with the
innocence of these beautiful
young girls and the
way they were presented for photographing.
I can only imagine how gorgeous their little
dresses were and the quality and
textures used for these.
I tried to use fabrics, laces, braids and buttons
which might reflect that quality!
It must have been quite an ordeal having your
photo taken back then when the perfect
pose had to be held !!!!!
No wonder this little girl would rather be
eating cake!!!!
I really wonder how often they got the chance
to dress up looking so elegantly!
I incorporated quite a lot of velvets and silks
into these pages to complement the
stunning images!
The back of the book here - most of the laces
used in this book were antique and vintage
which seem to complement
the smoothness and softness
of the velvets!
This particular book has been sold but I am happy
to say there could be more in the future!
Thank you so much for visiting
and I hope you are enjoying beautiful weather
wherever you are to take in some
of the beauty around us!
Welcome to all my new followers also!
Have a great week!
