Look what I've been busy with the past days- two friends of mine had birthdays and I embellished the covers of these journals for them. I used different kinds of paper and fabric- wall paper, fabric glued on paper, paper on which I encoded poems and colored with acrylic and lastly, handmade paper. I cut up the paper and fabric into flowers, leaves, and flourishes. Then I made it into a collage, attached buttons, and stamped letters. It was a lot of fun to make and I'm sure my friends will appreciate them.
