Fabric Journal

At the end of last year I started to collect together all the

things to make a scrap book journal on,

'Dressmaking and Textiles'.

Today, after the Christmas break I went

back into the Studio and collected more of the things I liked.

I had seen a You Tube video a couple of months ago

on 'Fabric Journals' and this is my inspiration.

I start with this video but as you know I like to do

things my way!

Thou Art Mixed Media Book

This is the start of the Mixed Media Book I have called

"Thou Art".

Base on a Scottish Proverb I found,

"What ev'r thou art,

act well thy part".

I began the piece of work by collecting the materials together

from around my studio and then began by

layering items onto an antique lace tray cloth.

You could use a lace handkerchief etc.

This I backed with Hobbs wadding (batting) and

then began sewing and sticking the layers of items on to

the tray cloth.

this is going to be the cover.

I managed to make a few pages and will continue to add.

I will take photos and post as I go.

Lovely Lutradur Book

Marion was back at The Gallery today along with Jill.

They are getting ready for Open Studios and they are using

The Gallery as their exhibiting venue.

I brought Marion's book today and she signed it too!

I will have a good read and tell you all about it.

We are surounded by some really inspirational and clever people at The Gallery.
