Working on another collage journal

Some weeks ago I saw a video on youtube on making a glue book. A glue book is any kind of book with pages that you then add items like papers and other bits until you make a collage. It's something like a journal except there is no writing, just visuals. I loved this idea.I loved this idea because I have a lot of my grandmother's sewing things and I've been thinking about how I can use them, other than sewing and embroidering.buttons, notions, threadI've got a substantial stash and at some point it will be have to given away or thrown out. A lot of it is more than 60 years old.cigar box with threadIt's amazing that this embroidery thread is so vibrant. I can believe that the colors have not faded at all.embroidery patterns1embroidery pattern bookreceiptaustrian buttonsThis weekend I began working on some collage pages. I had the house to myself for 24 hours and so I cleaned off the dining table and spread everything out.dining table It took me several hours of attention, but I managed to make 11 pages thus far.Here's a spread of 2 pages.sewing collageAfter I have them finished, I'll gut an old book and insert my new pages into it.
