A little page play

 

It's been a notebook morning.

Cutting papers, stitching pages, painting pages.

 

The past few days.

 

Tags, embellishments, embroidered and stitched papers, tiny artist book pages....

All ongoing explorations of a design theme.

I'm having so much fun with this.

Now I'm wondering where I can go next. 

A table of embroidery

 

I mentioned recently that I lost all public reference to my collection of embroidered sample books because of you know who.....(Typepad)

Insert some unladylike language here.

I also mentioned that I'd try to somehow post a little of that collection here and here we are.

A very brief video show and tell.

If there is anything you would like to see in more detail please just let me know.

 

More bits and pieces.

 

Do you remember this post about using homeless samples?

There's more of that here. 

Three samples now joined with a patchwork flower added top right.

I think I now have enough of these pieces to finish them with headers and create a new cloth sample book.

That's this afternoon sorted then. 

Fabric paint and embroidery.

 

New embroidered work.

Fabric paint and embroidery inspired by this collection.

There are lots of French knots and tiny snippets of cloth embellishing the painted areas along with a little running stitch.

There's along way to go with this one. It's developing over in class.

Small applique circles on each piece is the next step.

I will play with the placement of those later.
