The craft of choice at this time in my life was making photo album covers. I used satins mostly, although I did use other materials and of course, there were lots of ribbons. I loved to make them with windows in the front to hold a photo, which was usually a recent photo of me or of my family. The windows were made with reclaimed clear pastic packaging.
I made this gold, satin album for my mom and inserted a photo of myself that was taken at a banquet for a lingerie company, where I played the role of a manager for a while. I remember how much she loved it and and how I placed the ribbons on it. There were also ribbons attached to the inside of the covers that were used for holding it closed, which mom thought were a great idea. She was also very pleased to receive the photo and never did change it out, although I told her she could if she wanted to.
When mom passed, I inherited the album back, with some lovely family photos in it. It is now one of my favourite keepsakes, because it meant so much to her and she filled it with the love of her family. One of my kids will end up with it and the memories that it holds.
