They're all in black and white.
I've been hanging on to some black fabrics and lace pieces for a while knowing that I would be inspired one day. I pulled them out a couple of weeks ago and this is how they turned out.
I wanted to make a smaller journal, just the size to fit in a handbag!!!

'Tales from my Heart'.
5''x4''
The three signatures have lots of black and white lace.
Little pieces of glove leather.
Some of the paper pages have been left blank for journalling.
I loved making this!!!
With fabrics left over on to the next.....
My quilters books are always popular so this time 'Embroidery' is my theme.
I love the cameo against the lace and the silk ribbons to tie.
I've tried to include lots of inspiration in the three signatures and
I have to say, I was so pleased with the construction of this journal, it came out really well.
There are pockets and pictures.
Spaces to write notes and scrapbook.
These two will be for sale on my stand at Cowslip Christmas Fair.
Finally I've started on another Journal.
Soft blues, natural creams and white.
Here's the three signatures all prepared.....
And the front cover waiting for some hand stitching. I bought the sari silk chiffon from Knitting and Stitching, the colours are perfect don't you think.
I'll be busy, busy, busy for the next couple of weeks but I'm loving it!!!!
Have a great week.

OH MY GOSH...these are absolutely gorgeous. I've never seen anything quite like these before...what a wonderful Keepsake! I bet my girls would LOVE something like that...they're both very much into things that are different. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a message on my blog...it was nice to 'see' you! Have a wonderful weekend!
