Back in November I started hunting and gathering for a new project, a travel journal of two young women on a holiday to St Ives, Cornwall in May of 1910.
I've amassed quite a bit of ephemera, embellishments and written the journal entries. And it's all been sitting on the studio table "marinating" and today I began the process of turning it all into a Cornwall Travel Journal, 1910.
Getting the journal entries ready to attach
to the backs of the cabinet cards.
Sifting through ephemera to decorate the pages and the covers.
Fun little crocheted flowers, skeleton leaves and
a penny-farthing bicycle charm, all will find their place.
Will keep you posted on the progress.
What a lovely idea!! I'll be excited to see how it progresses!
ReplyDeletebobbie - Me to. I am always amazed at the way some projects just seem to take over and turn out very different (but very cool) from what I thought I had in mind.

Beautiful things you have gathered there for this project. Wow, I get such a thrill from digging thru stuff, all the better when it's in cigar boxes!
ReplyDeleteBarbara - I have to confess that gathering and digging through cigar boxes is one of parts of creating that I love most. Sort of like discovering buried treasure or being an archaeologist!

WOW! I saw the later post where Margot got all power tools on it. But LOOK at all of this yum that's going in!!
ReplyDeleteChris - I have to admit, I think it's one of the most fun pieces I've ever done. When you come up you can see it in person.
