The last Signature

This is the third signature and here is the front cover page--scrapbook paper background covered with a lace doiley.





And the back cover page is the other section of the lace doiley which was wrapped around from the front.
There is a strip of fabric down the edge and a small piece of paper serviette .






Pages 1 and 2 ----on the left page is a piece of antique lace -some silk fabric and an old cloth picture from inside an old small pewter picture frame.
On the right hand page is a small page with some sheet music that came off yet another serviette.





Page 3 -is actually the reverse side of the small card and when it is opened out it reveals the small piece of paper tag on page 4 which is stitched down on top of a piece of cinimay (sp?) I think that is what it is called-it is used on hats.





Page 5 and 6 is the centrefold and has a stamped image inside the stitched square which is from where I had stitched on the previous page and the small picture is from a paper collage sheet.
Small bits of lace and fabric are held down with a button.
The page on the right has a pocket with a tag inside which is supposed to look like a packet of seeds.




Here we have a serviette which has herb flowers and the right side is the small page with a piece of torn up doiley stitched onto it.





When you lift the small page it reveals a tiny hand dyed flower on it and on the right side a tag with a torn up piece of doiley which had been stitched onto the tag before being glued to the page.





That's it --all 3 signatures done and I rather like how they look.
I think altogether I have used 10 different paper serviettes in these 3 signatures.
Now the challenge will be to make the cover for the journal.
Waiting with trepidation for the instructions :-(

Hello Doreen, these are beautiful I like the use of the lace doileys for the cover. Next time we go to our main town I am going to get some felt to make a journal of my samplers, and the lace adornments is a good idea for the cover...hope you dont mind if I end up doing that....and dont forget that I was going to in the meantime.:)
