Layered Dried Flower Page in Krazy Kat's Saddle Bag Journal

 

It's a layered page layout from Krazy Kat's Saddle Bag Journal.  I've used Wild Chicory (actually found in the fields) to work in the journal as 'she has found it along the side of the trails.'   

The right side of the page is in 3 layers with vellum over a photo hiding under the pressed specimen.  (See photo below for the photo or check out the video to see how it all comes together.)

Wondering what Krazy Kat's Saddle Bag Journal is?  Check it out HERE.  

I have learned so many fun facts working in this junk journal.  I had no idea this plant is Wild Chicory and it was used in/as coffee!  Who knew?

See the video below for a tutorial on this layered page.

Double Page Layout in KKSBJ

 Layout page from Krazy Kat's Saddle Bag Journal.  These pages include some old tags, a pic, and a haiku!  Now if it's been a while since you thought about such things, a haiku is a poetry style that uses 3 lines to tell a bit about nature.  The first and third lines have 5 syllables; the second line has 7 syllables.  No rhyming in this style!

See the video below for description and tutorial.
