Sketchbook making


Had some playtime again! So enjoyable to be able to create and makes me feel good. Had a really great time pulling out papers and tissues and bonding  and stitching. My favourite thing to create at the moment is book covers, I just feel they are wonderful little pieces of art.  I had my mate Gilli over to mine for a day, and this is what I made, we just seem to bring out the best in each other and have fun bouncing ideas around.




 This is another project that has been sitting in the cupboard waiting to be made up. It was a case of finding some fabric that did the box justice and I think at last I found it.  It was quite a nice project to make and dont know why I kept putting it back in the cupboard !!

Spontaneity

I went over to Maria yesterday for a fun day together - our first meet up for almost three weeks. I have a few bits and pieces on the go and couldn't decide what to take with me, so I took some knitting as I knew we would have loads to chat about and catch up on - not least, discussing my son's recent wedding! Anyway, once there, Maria showed me some pieces of work she had developed after watching a recent workshop underway at our Guild (which I missed because I was at a Wedding!!)

It involved playing with paper - so, after some expert tuition from my friend and her generosity of allowing me to use anything from her stash I started this piece at her place and have finished it here at home today!! Hopefully, she will soon post about her pieces.

Scrap Fabric Challenge

My scrap fabric challenge piece!




It's not a bag and it's not a book cover!





The mystery unfolds!





It has a hidden usefulness!



 It could do with another press of the iron but ironing spooks the dog too much so that will have to be done again later!

Scrap of Fabric Challenge

Having a bit of fun, found these small pieces of interesting fabric in the charity shop and just loved  the colour and texture. So I thought OK lets have a bit of fun and set up a challenge for Gilli and myself  to make something from this piece, it is quite small approx 14" x 13". adding extras if required.
I dont know why I do these things but enjoy them really as it makes a break from other pieces on the go.

So this is what I came up with, adding a piece of fabric for the lining.



So its over to you Gilli to see what you come up with.
