Happy Accident

Last year I bought several of these albums because I liked the fact that the you can unscrew the wooden spine, I had plans to cover the front with painted pelmet vilene, but I made a slip cover and realised because the seam has to be on the outside it sits above the edge of the spine, I didn't like the effect, Last week I decided would put a square of the fibre in-form foil and a charm or something on top, so I cut a square of bondaweb, and carefully ironed this to the vilene cover, it worked great, but as I pulled the iron over the parchment I touched the edge of the cover and the foil stuck to the vilene, so it had ruined my careful square, but I liked the fact the foil stuck direct, I grabbed all the left over foil scraps from my other project and began just laying them randomly on the cover,and ironing it on, this is the result


I wanted to add something to the top and so I stamped some aluminium foil with
Staz-On ink and stitched a border on solufleece, then glued it to the album.
It is a nightmare trying to get a photograph, as the light kept hitting the metal, I may try again this morning before two of the albums are given to some friends.
