Many moons ago, I found an amazing jacket at goodwill and turned into one of my favorite fabric collages. Since that time, I scoured thrift shops and resale stores hoping to find another jacket like that, but I never did. Two weeks ago, I tried eBay. Much to my delight I found several. I can’t wait to repurpose them 🤗

I feel fortunate to live in a culturally diverse city where I’m able to find gorgeous saris at local thrift stores that I can deconstruct and then remake into journals.

I finished this one today and wanted to share it, mainly because of the fabric cluster on the lower right side of the cover. This is from a custom order from and the second photo shows the full order. I was literally blown away by how amazing everything she made was. It’s so detailed and absolutely gorgeous in person. If you make journals, especially junk journals, and neither have the time or the inclination to make all these extras that can make your journals even more wonderful, check out her creations. I can’t wait to use all of these beautiful things!
