Finished Collage Book

My mother's tribute book is finished. I told you last blog post that I took an online course from Nancy Maxwell James in the Artful Gathering Classroom. Nancy's website is http://sugarlumpstudios.blogspot.com/ and the art papers can be obtained from Paper Whimsy  http://www.paperwhimsy.com/


First is the cover, then the open pages. (Apologies in advance for the photography - the colors harmonize better in "real life")

Mama and me!
Three generations:
Me, my mother, sister and grandmother.
The finished book bound with fine chain and charms.
Now I need to work on the box for it.
Love, Linda

  1. Hi Linda, you did a great job! You picked a beautiful picture for the cover. I want to make some kind of book with pictures and information on our family history. And I want to decorate the cover to look victorian with lace and things too.
    Have a nice day!
