Even more Venice!

I am continuing working on my Venice booklets.  This new one is a mix of fabric and papers.  I bought the rusted fabric from Bex Raven.

I have been watching videos from an online class called A Little Book of Whispers by Laly Mille.   My book is nothing like hers apart from the size.  When the pages are folded they are 10cms square.

Each pair of pages has been glued together to make a doublesided page.   Of course it would have been better if I had done the stitching before I glued them together as now I have no way to hide the knots in the threads.

As well as stitching I am going to add some words and possibly other elements to the pages.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks for stopping by.

Venezia

Or Venice as we call it.  I hope you won't mind there's a Venice post today and yet another one to come.

When I was doing my City & Guilds Creative Embroidery I made a wall hanging based on Venetian architecture.

It's been in the cupboard for quite a while and recently I cut it up!

The Traverse ladies got together recently and they helped me put the pieces in order and then I tacked them together to see if they would stand up on their own.   And they did!

So now I just have to take it apart again and machine the cut edges and sew it all back together again.

In a previous post I talked about these squares.

I decided to put each of them on to a square canvas.  I've done 3 of the so far. 

I'm really pleased with them.  Only 6 more to do.

Thanks for stopping by.

Artists Book

In August I told you about the workshop I went on with Steph Redfern where I started the pages of an Artist's Book.

I have since worked on the pages sticking some more bits on and getting them ready to stitch.

This is a new set of pages since my original post.

These might be put side by side the other way round!

This is the new back page.

And here I have started to stitch and put random beads.

I'm looking forward to finishing this.

Thanks for stopping by
