little books of colour

Where has this week gone? I can't believe how quickly it has passed and I have so much to do. I have lots and lots of e-mails to answer, I haven't forgotten about you honest and I promise I will get round to it soon. My little books of colour are finished......they are so gorgeous, (don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but honestly they are) These have brightly coloured graph paper added and some prints of my own work as extra pages. They've also got decorative covers, some stitching onto paper which has been added to the front. What do you think? One thing I noticed making these is how I have been drawn to pink. All shades of pink, some reds, no blues and quite a few greens. it's the pink that got me though, I must be a subconscious sugary kind of person!

I have put them in the shop and we shall see how that goes. I sold my white book and actually posted it off to it's new home this morning. I hope these go down well because I can't think of a more pleasurable way to spend my time. ( I was going to say something cryptic there about Robbie Williams but best not!)

So, what now? I am definitely going to print more images of my work, I am happy with how that looks as a page so want to play with it further. More pages for more books? I have to finish the purse which means getting the sewing machine out. I could probably take advantage of that and create some textures for different projects. I have a special foot for my machine, a pin tuck foot, it creates the most lovely pleats and I'm sure I could use them as a base for something. So looks like that's my weekend then, sewing machine, surfaces, e-mails and printer. Hope you have a good one!

I forgot to say and I have to say....all the little embroideries are widow mounted, like little pictures in frames. I am so pleased I did that even though it nearly broke my back bending, cutting the paper!!
