A couple of years ago I found this little Victorian album, which was in pretty bad shape. Like many things (too many things), I bought it with the thought that I would be able to create something with it someday.
I've recently been inspired by a piece that Judy created for a workshop she's teaching in Cortona, Italy, and also by something of Keith Lo Bue's that I saw in this book. AND by this book that I shot a year ago.
So someday arrived this weekend.I'm still feeling a little cabochon for the middle of the medallion on the spine . . .
fabulous!!
