Hello Creatives
October's here bringing a new monthly challenge
This month I share a simple handmade concertina journal
made using a decade old, dusty unloved A5 patterned paper pad.
Creating a one of a kind slow stitched and embellished
panel I used favoured fabrics and dyed lace to glorify
those colours of Autumn. Sticking down with strong glue
onto the first page to create my concertina journals cover.
Pinned with one of my fabric scrap brooches I embellished more
sewing on tiny acorn buttons, a true sign that Autumn has arrived.
The team @ Creative Artiste look forward to seeing
YOUR Mixed Media creations over HERE @
Take care everyone

I think you outdid yourself with this book cover Tracey. It is gorgeous. I love the bits of fabric, lace and stitching. And even those sweet little acorn buttons are a lovely addition. I really wish I could reach through the internet and touch it to see if it feels soft or a little coarse. I hope all is well with you. hugs-Erika
I forgot to say thank you also, for joining us at TIOT and also for joining MIa at AJJ. So thank you.

The gorgeous little acorn buttons are my fave! x

Well my friend, you have created a true piece of art. There is nothing I don't like about this. The colors, the embellishment, and the way you arranged it all. Simply stunning.
Wow Tracey that looks great, I do like the different textures.
Sending good wishes for the new month of October.
All the best Jan

I love the pop of lavender that stood out to me. This is stunning. Your hand stitching is phenomenal and the acorns add even more dimension. Thanks for sharing this with us at AJJ and Mia's theme.
WOW - so tactile, a real work of art

How I would love to spend time watching you create your beautiful MM pieces you share with us each month Tracey. Such beauty, detail and so many interesting pieces bonded together so perfectly. Just stunning!
I'm good at forgetting to say thank you for joining AJJ and Try It On Tuesday also. This is perfect for both Mia's theme and also for our latest TIOT challenge. hugs again-Erika
Wow! I love all the colors, textures, prints and more in your wondrous composition. Happy AJJ!
How gorgeous Tracey - I'm so envious of those who can sew - I'm slowly trying to add some stitches to my journals by hand but its a real challenge for me. I just love all the details here and those little acorns tucked away. FAb
Hi Tracey, sorry I've not been around for a while. I seem to have found other stuff to occupy me recently. I am loving this creation you clever lady. Have a great weekend, hugs Angela xXx
OH! My goodness, what a fabulous assortment of materials making the most interesting journal cover, a magical make. x
