A unique journal...
The leather cover is a deep, dark burgundy color with a wrinkly texture. I have sewn a piece of avocado dyed vintage lace to the cover and there is a matching leather tie that wraps around the book a few newest times and tucks into the back to keep your creating under wraps.
It is filled with an interesting mix of papers and fabrics. I have been experimenting with natural dyes and I had a lovely stack of paper and fabric that I recently dyed with avocado skins - the color is the loveliest, softest peachy pink. When I saw it with that leather I just knew it belonged together. Inside you will find vintage dyed lace, gauzy cotton fabric and a variety of dyed papers. There is watercolor paper, copy paper, mixed media paper and a variety of handmade papers. Some of the papers have beautiful lacy designs from where I placed some lace on the paper while the dye was drying. Other pages have interesting designs from where the dye pooled. All so unique. Everything is dyed with the exception of a few pieces of pale pink handmade paper that matched perfectly. There is some dyed sari silk around one of the pages along with a vintage mother of pearl button, into which I have tucked some little surprises for you to create with.
There are 100 pages, counting both sides. It is bound with burgundy waxed linen thread.
The book measures about 6" wide by 7-3/4" high.
It will be beautifully and artfully wrapped with an additional piece of avocado dyed fabric with some little extras tucked in.
*Due to the weight of this book, it will ship media mail. If you wish to upgrade you may do so at the time of purchase.
