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.
