My Latest Project

My latest project is an Altered Journal for a friend.  She is a school teacher and I grew up with her family.  We did not meet until I started working at T J Maxx.  She is an awesome person so I thought to waste my talents on her so to speak.
 
This first picture is the completed book.  I just wish my ipad would take better pictures and do justice to  the way the journal looks
 
 
When we untie the lace this is the front cover.  I had gone thrifting last Friday and came across some vintage doilies.  I used part of the green one for this journal.  I use vintage in my projects.  I just like the look that it gives.
 
 
 
This is the back of the journal.  More vintage doilies of course!
 
 
I made a pocket right in the middle of  this journal for little keep sakes or pictures or what ever Chanel wants to use it for.  As you can see I used scrap book paper and those images?  They are old greeting cards.  I love how they compliment the over all theme of the journal.
 
 
 
 
On the insides of the journal cover I made more pockets for keep sakes.
 

I am really enjoying this exploration of Altered/Media Art.  The possibilities are endless.  Sometimes we have to leave behind of what was to move forward.
