Under the covers ...

... of the Carol Wingert Bountiful Harvest heirloom book.

Took a little bit of work and time to finish this project, but it was so worth it. Carol and her books are so full of techniques and inspiration!

First, the cover ... antique lace and appliques, the book is made of heavy canvas ..

Gold leafing, a beautiful print on old onion skin paper ....

A collage built on brown velvet ....

An interesting book making technique under "life" ...

Wax coated leaves and a spoon angel to guard the pocket behind her ....

Frogs and more appliques .....

More cool fabrics and trims ......

The last pages ... and a very fun trim on the edge of the back cover that Carol showed us how to make .....
Thanks again, Carol, for an awesome day and another beautiful heirloom book!
I'm off for a long, relaxing, funfilled girls only weekend in Texas!! Pictures next week!
Enjoy your week!!
