art journal featuring collage; original poetry and photographs (digital); found fabrics, papers and objects; stitch
some fabrics have also been rusted or plant-dyed, including silks
my original poems (hand-written on paper made by a friend) are ‘veiled’ with dress pattern tissue; i also veiled some of the photographs (also original)
this journal is an artistic and emotional response to my husband’s family history connection to maria island

every page has something different and interesting….Question: how did you stitch the fabric to the back of the card at the back of the jornal, didn’t the needle break?

I stitched onto a sheet of paper first, then glued the whole thing in – makes it a lot easier, and hides the stitching on the back! =D
