Style File
Elsie and Leigh-Ann asked me a while back to contribute to their Style School as a “style feature.” I was happy to share my style inspirations, of course, but I was even more delighted to be so inspired by the class content. One of the projects entails compiling visual inspiration and ideas into a notebook, or “style file.” It’s a great home for the inspiring images I have been collecting, many of which came from the Spring UO catalog.
To make the shell of this little book, I gessoed the cover of a binder from Target so that the style of the notebook could be completely customizable. I’ve mainly been accenting the images with Hambly rub ons and Jenni Bowlin paper. There is much more to come, of course, but I wanted to share my progress so far.
looove it. seriously, fantastic!
So beautiful! Leanne and I live in the same city, I’m trying to get into a local workshop of hers =)

Beautiful Style File! I should probably get BUSY finishing mine…

I have the same page in my style file too! (the one from urban with the chick with all the lovely little cameras (holga and etc). It just makes me ever so happy! I always look forward to your wardrobe wednesday posts. :)
Absolutely beautiful. I love your use of happy tape. Making the style file has been my favorite part of Style School!

Oh my – your style file is soooo gorgeous!! :) Inspirational. I have a pile of photos gathered but haven’t collected them up all nicely, yet – but you have me wanting to!!
Wow! what a super fun project and idea for what do do with all of the magazine pics strewn all over my desk! Found your blog from Artful Blogging (congrats!) I love it :)
This is so cool! I think I just may try this for myself
How much do I love your work? Too much. Do you gesso before or after, or both?
What a wonderful way to organize these bits and pieces, I have a big stack of them patiently waiting for me to take care of them…
