Here's a little something I made last night - I seemed to get a second wind later on day after having been super tired and cranky all day! It's a little bird collage on a vintage book cover.
The book cover base is layered with muslin and lots of vintage items - lace, a postcard, book page, bird card, seam binding and sheet music. I adhered the muslin to the book cover with iron-on fusible webbing and the paper elements with gel medium. I used fabric glue to attach the lace and seam binding and some heavy gel medium for the lace flower.
I'm busy working on a new project for my Etsy store - some beautiful themed kits and these are some of the items you might in them!
I'm working on a fabric journal today. Head on over to the Facebook page for a peek and to share what you're working on this weekend!
I'm entering it into the following challenges:
