I am so thrilled that Fiona taught me how to use my Photoshop Elements, I decided to make her one of these books, using the canvas paper for the images. I used some of my batik scraps with variegated thread sewn onto blue felt pieces.
I choose some of my favorite vintage images from the web to print on the the canvas sheet and stamped some words on them with black Versafine ink.
And stamped some words and sayings on the fabric with the same ink.
I found I could
also use a waterbrush pen filled with alcohol blending solution to reactivate dried metallic mixatives to color metal embellishments.
I tied together the pages with an assortment of ribbon and fibers. A metal heart with attached ribbon was sewn on as a decorative element. And the metal W was sewn on the page with fibers attached.
Inside front cover and front of page 1. I sewed on metal flower beads with fibers attached to each pocket flap.
Back of page 1 and front of page 2.
Back of page 2 and front of page 3.
Back of page 3 and front of page 4.
Back of page 4 and inside back cover.
Back of book.
