Another Little Witches book

It seems as fast as I make these sweet little books, they sell. Of course I'm happy, and honored that someone likes my art enough to want it in their own home!  Extra Photoshop play, and I created more Victorian Era children-'witches'....  FOR SALE IN MY ETSY SHOP

Book measures: 5x6", has 10 interior pages, including several 'tuck spots', tags, and a mini-journal for your thoughts. Many scraps of vintage fabrics have been crazy quilted to form the foundation of each page. Notice the antique doilies on the cover.

BOOK OF SPELLS a Halloween Mixed Media fabric book

This was a fun week, creating this 'BOOK OF SPELLS'... quite out of my venue of shabby chic... yet so much fun to create! Take a look! AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON MY ETSY SITE, HERE.
This is the book itself...wrapped with a piece of shabby vintage lace.

 Fun fabric papers, vintage fabrics and milliners netting.

Inside first page spread... the 'Spells' begin!

 Second spread with a pocket and a few 'fortunes'....

 Next spread with another 'spell' plus a pocket for your to journal your thoughts or your own spells.

 Creepy spread. I like the young witch on the right, kinda looking for guidance from the old witch on the left.

 another pocket with fortunes, plus a little journaling space.

 Creepy spread. I wonder what they are looking at???

 Pocket with a little journaling book. You'll see pictures at the end of this post.

 Another spread with another 'spell'...

 Lovely flocked paper with vintage lace makes the pocket on the left, holding a few fortunes.

 Another spread, another pocket, another little journaling book, and another spell....

Busy times filling up my Etsy shop!

Hello friends....
I've been enjoying the redwoods surrounding my studio this summer...busy as a bee, the doors and windows wide open, creating pretty lacy books and journals to fill my Etsy shop.

Please feel free to 'pin' any of these onto Pinterest!

This is a sweet covered journal, perfect for your gratitude thoughts. Found here on Etsy.

 Another reusable covered journal.... fits the standard composition book. Found here.

Little Girls in the Garden

This little lacy book is chock full of beautiful vintage laces and trims. So much fun creating this sweet little book featuring Girls in the Garden. 11 pages, one with a pocket for your keepsake or sweet memories. One standout in this book is the beautiful red tatted trim! 

Measures a bountiful 5x7" with tons of lace peeking out! 
Just a sample layout... sweet pocket on the left.

Ooolala Naughty Dancers, lace album, lace collage book, Mixed Media Fabric book, Shabby Chic Lace Book!

Ooolala! These ladies of the 1920s were all about dancing! Ziegfeld Follies ladies, a great inspiration for this fabric and lace journal. Each page speaks for itself! Each page, a collage of vintage photos, laces, trims, and feathers! 

Measures approximately 6x7" with lots of lace and feathers peeking out!

Gypsy Soul,

I was blessed with a vision of how this book was to be, about the message of love and acceptance, and the wild abandon our ancestors, out 'Gypsy' grandmothers may have lived their lives! A message we can all appreciate today!

On each page, you'll find a vintage image of a Gypsy friend, gazing at us through the window of time. Each image has been printed on quality linen paper, then glazed with a layer of natural bees was, known as an 'encaustic' application. Each layout also supports a pocket in which you'll find an adorned, interactive tag, quoting the wisdom best remembered from a Gypsy Life.

ELEVEN decorated pages, many pockets and tags.

May you be blessed with the 'Gypsy Spirit'!!!

Book measures a supple 8x10, and is 4" thick! Lots of jewels, laces, trims, all in rich, rich color! Some laces and/or trims were specially dyed.

 Just one sample layout... there are MANY tags and pockets in this lacy book! See the Etsy post for more pictures.

Girls sewing book

I learned to sew as a young girl in the fifties, at my mother's feet of course. She'd provide the scraps as I hand stitched dresses for my dollies.

Hopefully, you'll remember those times when looking through this sweet little lace book. Created with vintage laces and trims. The last page is a pocket page created from two antique little girl dresses.

Measures a bountiful 5x7" with tons of lace peeking out!

So, these are just a few of the lacy creations this month. Thanks for looking.
Sweet blessings to you!
xoxo Chris
