When I got home I worked on it again adding the exercises suggested by Dionne that I hadn't had time to do.
I made a stamp and found the stamps I had made from Dionne's online course Developing Sketchbooks.
I used black acrylic paint to stamping my fabric sketchbook. I also developed the teardrop shape which I had found in amongst the pages.
And here is my book which could be called finished. Although there's plenty of scope for more machining and handstitching.
The back (left) and front pages
I really enjoyed doing this workshop and I feel much more confident about using my machine.
Be aware though that if you book for next year's course you won't end up with what I did. Firstly, each of us on the course ended up with something different, and secondly, Dionne teaches it slightly differently each time she does the workshop.
Thanks for joining me today
