Turn the pages but don't wet your finger - it's a cloth book *

I had a sudden urge this afternoon to put together a cloth book, kinda shabby vintage using my remnants from my many bits and bobs boxes - yes plural as I am sure you all have more than one.  I used 3 strips of khaki colored cotton fabric as the basis and chucked right at it copious amounts of doilies, some of which were hand crocheted by me as was some of the flowers, bits of lace, pearls, feathers,  handmade flowers, mulberry flowers, ribbon, pearl string, ribbon, motifs and images from the internet. I also used a brush loaded with DI inks and stippled the images to make them look old.  I still had to use some lengths of ribbon from my stash so of course I now have even more bits and bobs to add to the box lol.  Oh of course I did
use some glue, now where would we be without the glue lol.

I will be gifting this to one of my friends whether she likes it or not lol.

Now for the pics (sorry mother overload)

and here is the state of my work area lol 

Thanks for dropping by and I do hope you will drop by again real soon
