Over time, this Silva Rerum will become a full art journal. I have already been filling in some of the pages with collages and collage 'starts'.
I think I am going to make more of these - I have so many beautiful vintage book covers to repurpose...

Silva Rerum
Silva Rerum means a 'forest of things' and is traditionally a family chronicle or journal of sorts. In this class, we made our own Silva Rerum by repurposing a vintage book cover and sewing in signatures made of interesting paper scraps. I used a smallish book 'The World Beautiful' by Lillian Whiting (I saved the book pages for later projects) and sewed in 6 signatures of paper from my stash that I loved. Included are vintage maps, ledger paper, wrapping paper, tissue paper, and some handmade paper.
Over time, this Silva Rerum will become a full art journal. I have already been filling in some of the pages with collages and collage 'starts'.
