Jack the Ripper Mini Pocket Letter

Paper & Vinyl Crafts Completed Projects
1

I made this for the Mini Pocket Letter swap. I knew my partner, @Bunny1kenobi liked mysteries and historical stuff, so Jack the Ripper fit right in.
I got some files from Etsy and then pulled some more from the internet. I made a collage of the items so that they reached the ATC next to it. Then, I dropped red alcohol ink on it for the blood. I have my moments with papercraft. It’s not my best medium, but I still try. I thought it turned out neat, and my partner liked it, so I am happy.

I forgot to get a picture of it in the holder, so I am using her pic. I added ribbon and some red fibers to the outside of the pouch.

These were two mini notebooks. I thought the coffin one was fun.

Very creepy and cool. The little file folders and extras are my favorite. There’s so much attention to detail in this! From the “blood” drops to the ribbon choices, it feels intentional and cohesive. Nicely done!

I love this pocket letter! Jack the Ripper is a big draw for me, so it was a perfect choice, and you did an amazing job, @gozer! Every tiny little piece of ephemera in there was chosen with obvious care! It’s all MINE! Mwahahaha!!! :star_struck:

How cool! It’s like a scrapbook, and so very macabre. All the details! (I love true crime, too.)
