The last few pages of my workshop project

Here are the rest of the pages of the completed book from "Under the Tuscan Sun" workshop with Carol Wingert.

More pages with pockets for collections from the trip!

Loved spraying the canvas fabric with walnut ink and Glimmermist using masks to get the pretty pattern.

Tags for pictures and more pockets.  The right page is the other half of the parchment bag.  This is the open end of the bag where you can tuck more souvenirs from the trip.

The page on the left is the other side of the parchment bag.  On the left is the back of the book which is the inside of another artists canvas.

This project was a lot of fun and I learned several new techniques throughout the workshop.  Thanks again to Carol and her family for creating a wonderful day for the 14 of us who attended the workshop!

The finished project!

I finally finished my mixed media book from Carol Wingert's "Under the Tuscan Sun" workshop.  And here is the first half of my book.

This is the cover.  The book is actually two artist's canvases hinged together.  I love the embossed copper map on the cover here and that great clock knob!

Inside the back of the cover (which is the back of the framed canvas) is an accordian book.

The page with the tree actually is four pockets in which to stuff ephemera, postcards, pics, etc.  The other page is a parchment bag that has been slit to hold postcards.

Plenty of time!  The pocket on the right would hold maps, brochures, etc. from a trip.

More pockets for tags.  You can journal on the tags or glue pictures on them.

This is the first half of the book.  I'll share more in a day or two!
