I can tell I thoroughly confused some of you when I talked about how I was going to put Three Women and a Peach on the photo album cover. The flap (the album is open with the flap pulled away from the cover--the cover and flap both have magnets in them so they stick together) is pulled back and the album open with the NP canvas, the bead on its linen DMC string and the trim I found yesterday are all visible.
I've not done anything more on assembling the photo album as I was still hunting trim. I am lucky in that there are two large fabric shops and a crafts emporium that carries sewing supplies near me. It just takes time to visit them all. Yesterday I found brown braid that'll be perfect. It's on a piece of tape. This is pillow trim and the tape is so you can sandwich the trim tape between two pieces of fabric and easily sew up a pillow. I am not sure if I'll cut the tape off and hand sew the brown braid on or leave it in place. Haven't decided what's easier yet.
The album flap you see on the right will be sandwiched between my two pieces of finishing foam. When the flap is open so you can flip through the album pages, you'll see the brocade side of the sandwich. When the flap is closed, you'll see the NP because the magnetized flap itself will be sandwiched between the back and front of the ornament.
I've just typed "sandwich" three times. I must be hungry!
