Tri fold Concertina Structure with 3 signatures (booklets of paper). .jpg)
I had so much fun making my first journal in Sue Bleiweiss's online Fabric Journal Making Class.
The first lesson was to make a concertina fold journal with 3 signatures. I embellished the cover with wood beads, a ribbon and a snap button closure. I used birdy fabric on the inside and decorated the first open page with some of my hand carved stamps.
Lesson 2 starts today and I cannot wait to see what we make!
Melanie made an amazing journal. I will show it to you tomorrow. :)
