Fiona Jennings has a Youtube channel under the name of
Jennings644. I had previously made and sent her one of my handmade books. And when she got it, she kindly asked me to make 3 books for her friends.
These are the journals she requested. She wanted 2 purple and 1 pink in a vintage style. So hopefully Fiona and her friends will like them. I did my best with the photos but unfortunately they don't do the books justice. But see what you think. Unfortunately the colours haven't come out perfectly either, the purples look more blueish in colour.....but they are purple, I promise Fiona!!
These are all hand bound by me, signatures made, pages sewn, covers and spine made, books bound and decorated all by me! Embellished with my handmade flowers except for the wee foam roses, I have yet to master those.....but give me time!!

So there you have it. Im disappointed the flowers dont show the proper colours and detail of the journals. I hope Fiona likes them and her friends of course.
Thanks for looking and any comments are greatly appreciated.

I forgot to enter my name, Pat Etheridge. Living large in Alabama!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHello, dear Pat Etheridge! I'm not sure if you are mixing me up with someone else. When you said that you heard I was moving to the UK.....I'm afraid that I have lived in Northern Ireland all my life, teehee. Maybe you have me mixed up with someone else? I hope you are able to find the person....and tell them you don't allow them to move to the UK, lol. Big hugs and best of luck...Lee :)
