Paris lace book

I had in the back of my mind to make a vintage lace book dedicated to Paris. Who best to do that than a Parisian!!!!

There are lots of blank spaces for journaling. I have included vintage images, old laces and buttons. I also got to practice my crazy quilting, inspired by the superb work Suzy Quaif keeps creating. Thank you, Suzy for pushing me to excell.

This book has 3 signatures of 4 pages each, each signature is fabric wrapped.

I stenciled the blank pages, as well as aged them.

You will also find below one of my original watercolors. Not a photocopy…
