Altered Journals

The journal was altered using:

Flowers: Recollections/Boutique Fleur

Lace: Darice Inc.

Roses: Fairytale Roses/Prima Flowers

Seam Binding: Lawrence Schiff

Ephemera: Tim Holtz

Journal stamped with a stamp by Stampabilities

To alter this journal, I simply stamped it first and then glued images and embellishments on it. Then, I tied curly seam binding around it so that it makes a lovely gift.

This journal is currently on display in an art gallery. To create it, I used fabric that I stenciled with gesso using a doily as the template. It includes fibers, as well as twigs from a real bird's nest and other embellishments. Prima Flower. Batik fabric: Hoffman Industries; also includes raw soy silk. Cheesecloth by Dritz. All items were simply glued to the journal.

This journal is a custom order for one of my clients.
