Robyn's Goddess Book - added to!
I really enjoyed working in Robyn's Goddess theme book. It is a very soft book that has a definite Vintage feeling. To review what Robyn's Cover and page look like - just jump to this post: goddess-is-on-its-way!
Here are scans of what I added to her book. Below, my page is added on the right. Click on the photos for more details:
For the green handkercheif page I glued the transparency on with a clear drying tacky glue, before spraying with the color wash. On both pages I stamped Goddess related sayings with versaCraft ink which can be heat set. I sewed a few beads and ribbons on by hand and machine stitched both pages together with a little bit of batting in-between! I added a strip of fabric spray dyed to match my page with my name stamped on one side and "passion counts" on the other - as passion is the theme of my own book. This was Robyn's idea which I like alot. Then I attached my sign-in to the inside back cover with one of the little safety pins Robyn left there for us!
I hope you enjoy, Robyn! ~Lenna

In the next scan below the first one, the page is flipped over - it's on the left now. I used one of my Grandmother's Handkercheifs as a base for this page. That is her initial "B" for Betty! I sprayed the handkercheif with a lettuce green Adirondack color wash and used my heat gun to set it. Both pages use Transparencies from Alpha Stamps to illustrate Robyn's Goddess theme. I used images from the Pre-Raphaelite Women sheet for both sides of the page and attached them in 2 different ways. On the yellow page I sewed the transparency on. The red lace paper on this page is from Alpha Stamps too.
