Notebook Twelve

I am trying to make use of some of the different things that I have made or part made over the years. This time it is some handmade paper from about 7 years ago. I used it in this small notebook. Which is number twelve. The cover is fabric that I printed using part of a design from a serviette. I lined the inside with green gingham fabric.





Then I made some gift tags. Something that I know I make a lot of. This time I printed the fabric using a design from some fine silk fabric. The process has muted the colours.



Using some more of the felted fabric Cameron sent to me I have made two needle cases. I have added additional fibres to this one using the embellisher then embellished with machine and hand embroidery as well as seed beads.



This one has strips of sari fabric embellished onto it. Then machine and hand embroidery.



Good to have some rain today, I will still look forward to the return of the sun. Hope that you are all having a good week.

Isn't it a good feeling to use previous creations in a new work? What you've made is wonderful!

I love the way you can use such delicate colors & then jump right in with the brights. Wonderful variety.

Oh my, just having a sqiz through some of your notebooks and they are incredible! I love this embellished one the best though. I had just been thinking about how little I have used mine this year....been so busy with needle felted sheep! This is just the inspiration I need to get back into it. I love the textural effects and colours combinations you have achieved here : )

Just realised these are needle cases, sorry! I got so engrossed in the visual aspect I forgot to read the blurb properly : )
