Embroidered Collage

The two ZapBooks  themes I signed up for this month were Medieval and Sewing.

I did a series using medieval tapestry images from an Altered Pages collage sheet, a bit of gold, and some tapestry ribbon.  I had intended it to be done at that point, but it looked incomplete, so I pulled out a random sheet of Shakespeare from my stash and added semi-appropriate words.  I'm very pleased with the results.

For the sewing pages I used related book pages overlaid with pattern pieces, hem tape, and paper copies of measuring tapes.  The snaps were the perfect touch and are held on with decent sized globs of gel medium.
