There are ten little pieces of unique embroidery here, two colour matched wrapped thread cards and two cards wrapped with various trims and colourful pins. I have more graph paper in bright colours for extra leaves and I am probably going to try and print some images of my work to make extra pages.
So what do you think? Good enough? Will they sell? Most of me doesn't mind if they don't sell, maybe I deserve to keep one for myself, who knows I may even pluck up the courage to draw in it!! The little corner of my little house where I keep all my finished things minds if they don't sell though! It's positively groaning.I have to decide now what to do next, another book? Another bigger piece of embroidery? Decisions, decisions...... First of all though, I must put these together and then get back here sharpish to show you.

How much goodness can you put in the one post!
Absolutely beautiful.
It doesn't really matter what you do next. It will be lovely regardless!
Wow...
That looks like it was a lot of fun to work on - and I'm guessing quite relaxing? Beautiful work, as always.
I think they will definitely sell.
I can't wait, there is something about those wrapped cards with the pins. I think it's because it puts me in mind of new beginnings, new projects
Your certainly has the WOW factor. Wonderful work and beautiful colours.
I see passion for what you are doing when I look at these photos. It will be gorgeous and charming.
Karen, your work is beautiful - as usual. I always loved your white work, but these coloured books are positively gorgeous! Pink/purple and green is my favourite colour combination.
I also love the textured fabric you work on - is it silk?
ABSOLUTELY LOVELY!
I love color! I also LOVE your white-work. I can't wait to see these finished. AND, no matter what you do next it will be wonderful, as it always is.
OH MY DELIGHTFUL! you are the most amazing! to put the wonderful texture of expensive paper with your beautiful and exquisite embroidery and to put it together as if each page is it's own special little surprise is just a total and special delight. Your little books are absolutely a precious wonder.
So nice to see your stitches in colour. They take on a whole new dimension.
so beautiful, like the colors...
Love, Love, Love all of the colour in this post. You always take such beautiful photos of your work.
Hej Karen,
What is going on? So much colour? I almost thought I was at the wrong address!!!! LOL
In other words, love your books.
I love it!
I could hear the choir of angels
singing when I saw all that brilliant
color. :) I love it! Just beautiful
especially in your talented hands.
One word...fabulous!
I love this, the embroidery,colours,
just beautiful:-)
I love your work with colour. It's as fresh and crisp as your whitework! How do you see and create like that! Does your mind work so crisply and cleanly too, I wonder?(That's a question from my oft muddked brain) It's beautiful.
Hi Karen, I adore your little books -the coloured and the white. And I think it's a great idea to have some pages that are printed alongside the actual embroidery pages - will help to keep the cost down but will still be special because it includes original alongside the images.

am loving your work and can't WAIT for the white book - oooohhhh, am so excited. It is all so delicately executed. If you do some workshops I'll come! ;)

precious, precious things
Delightful, Karen. It is good to see that you are as skilled in the use of colour as you are in the use of texture! Great work!
