This journal I call “The Edwardian Ladies” because I tried to find old photos from that era. I have always loved that period of fashion and tried to use white fabrics, lace, silks, and accents. I had to paint the chipboard album white, and that took several coats of paint. The fabric panels were sewn and glued to the chipboard backs. I also added old sheet music, and ephemera. Lots of old antique lace was added throughout the album and also tied in the book rings. Prima roses highlight the front cover.
It’s so very beautiful! Amazing detail.
Nancy,
your album is exquisite!! You really know how to marry the photos,laces and elements to make such romantic and beautiful pieces! Bravo!
May i ask, do you use your actual photos?Or do you use copies?
hugs and hoping the sun is shining for you today!
