the paper trail...

I have been making 'vintage ephemera' altered moleskin journals...



Sewing on paper is fun and has sated my late night creative urges..

I am using vintage books, photographs, postcards, papers... The possibilities are endless!!

This week I have been wanting everything from this Etsy shop


...all these incredible etchings are from a clever lady in Lithuania.


Also drawing inspiration from Lisa Chow


Carrie Chau



Theatre Clouds

Now I just need to move into my own house, so I can put MILLIONS of holes in the walls, and collect all of the precious art I want...

One day :)

If you have any favourite artists and print makers, please share!! I would love to check them out.

Hope you are having a great Saturday morning,

Bec x

  5. Love your journals, they look great! Have you ever tried hanging frames and things using straight pins? You'd be surprised what a single straight pin can hold and leaves virtually no hole! =)
