I always find it interesting where inspiration comes from. This book came together because of 2 things that inspired me. One was an aged piece of a thin lace like doily that my mom came across when working at the local small 2nd hand store. The other was a oh so lovely book that you can see
at this site.
I added colour to the pages, and bits and pieces of lace and aged doily.
I added bits of lace/doily to the spine to soften up the hard cover,
and tie it into the decorated pages.
More decorated pages.
and then the back cover.
