Lots of sewing in this one using black thread for the first time.

I only printed this balloon kit once on 20# copy paper ( flimsy but good for collages) spreading it over 4 journals.

As if I didn't need a reason to save every bit of scrap. I layered strips of scrapbook paper then zig zag stitched over a string of yarn.

Frankenpaper cover

The results of my day dying silk fabric strips using alcohol ink. They came out really pretty.
