Happy

 

I'm once again joining Try it on Tuesday, where their theme this fortnight is using Book Pages.  This theme called to me because I love book pages.

For lack of a better title, I call this Happy.  And because the title make me happy, I'm also sharing this with What Makes You Happy, which is Matilde's theme, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  You can find Matilde at 100% Handmade/Craftowanie. Detail shots are below.




The inspiration for this spread came from the flower attached to fabric that I found in my stash.  I thought the focal image had a distinct Asian feel, so used a page from an old Asian book, as well as a piece of sheet music.  These were sewn with variegated thread to the red cardstock.  These will be added to my Collage Too altered book.

Thanks for dropping by today.  Bleubeard and I are truly grateful and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey and Try it on Tuesday.

I took a blogging break yesterday so I missed this page. But I really like it. I love the stitching and the fabric. It looks you added dried flowers. And I like how you used that Asian paper too. This page is a winner in my book. hugs-Erika
