60th Wedding Anniversary Journal

One of my favourite projects completed in 2014; 

a 60th Wedding Anniversary journal for Mum and Dad's

celebration in October.

I always lay out the pieces, trying several different positions

before everything comes together in a way that feels right.

The orange and yellow embroidery is a piece that Mum worked on

over fifty years ago!

Needed the floor space for organising page layouts.

Thanks, Samantha Lane Art for your inspiration

on page decoration :)

Family photos were combined with Mum and Dad's life story,

told in the 'Fairy Tale' genre.

In my stash of fabrics and braids, I found complimentary

colours for the inside cover and book tie. The hand torn edges

of each page are completed by the raw edges of the cover.
