How can you not love the idea of a canvas journal, chock full of ephemera, textures and delightful findings? When I saw the new Fabric Journals from Tim Holtz Idea-ology, being a scrapbooker at heart I wanted to make one, but I was a bit intimidated with the idea that I needed to stitch things onto each page. While I greatly admire the stunning journals made by so many talented artists, with amazing sewing, stitching, and vintage lacey details, I knew my rather elementary level of sewing…

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing pictures of two junk journal I've made inspired by the wonderful Amity Bloom.

Hello friends, I am sharing a project from the Salvaged Patina release today, my mixed media Fabric Book. This was such a fun project to create!

Lets start with the book itself... The idea-ology Fabric…

Another little journal that I've just been picking up and stitching in the evenings to wind down after a day in the yard or cleaning out cupboards. . I added another unusual fastener this time instead of just fabric or ribbon by using a braised cotton tie with a charm and a piece of silk, wrapped around a rusty bell. . Willow and I have been…

For ages I have admired the cloth journals made by Ro Bruhn. I don't aspire to even match her journals but I really had the best time making this. I am trying to justify the amount of "stuff" in my workroom. This seemed like an ideal way to use papers, UFO's and other experiments and basically anything that came to hand. The back, I made it with a sort of left handed fastener. Loops from front to back.! So happy that part 2 of Jude's Magic Diaries has begun. It has become so much a part of…

Ro Bruhn’s handmade journals are incredibly beautiful inside and out. Touchable. Inviting. Desirable. This particular journal already is sold; but you can watch her develop new journals on he…
